This Oklahoman celebrates the victory of Cori Bush to Congress. Her interview Sunday on NPR reveals commitment to working families, criminal justice reform, economic justice, a public health care option, and the Green New Deal so badly needed to address global warming and climate change.
These are crucial issues after four years of an administration that considered climate concerns “a hoax and a myth” as they said in their 2016 campaign. Cori Bush knows global warming is real, and that federal investments in solar and wind power will produce thousands of jobs and relieve our dependence on electricity produced with coal, oil, and gas.
Hats off to another powerful Congressional voice in the tradition of John Lewis, who said hundreds of times, “Make good trouble, necessary trouble.”
