Two years ago today, Kamala Harris cast the tie-breaking vote for the largest climate investment in U.S. history.

She has been a vocal advocate for environmental justice throughout her career.

In 2020 , she was just one of five senators who backed a national climate bank.

She was also an early supporter of a plan to ensure clean energy had unionization rates.

The planet will bear the scars of Trump ’s first term for decades if he wins, says Leah Stokes .

Stokes: We have to cut carbon pollution in half by 2030 to meet our climate goals.

350 climate leaders have come out in support of Kamala Harris , who is running for president.
