What is the Green New Deal? (And why we need it now)
A Green New Deal is any plan with the scope and ambition necessary to transition our society and economy away from fossil fuels in order to fend off the oncoming climate crisis.
According to a major report by the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, unless we take drastic action to get carbon emissions under control in the next decade – by the year 2030 – the global ecosystem will tip into an irreversible slide toward breakdown. In the United States, warming will devastate every sector of the economy, from agriculture to public health. Mass migration, widespread flooding, uncontrollable wildfires – all of it will arrive in a matter of years.
A Green New Deal is a plan to prevent this – and it’s much more. Named for Pres. Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal that helped lift the United States out of the Great Depression in the 1930s, a Green New Deal is a sweeping program of investment – not only in clean energy, but also in jobs, income inequality, infrastructure, and racial justice. It would give us an economy that is sustainable, strong and fair after our transition away from carbon.
By some estimates, a Green New Deal could create 10 million jobs over the next decade by putting Americans to work on sustainable technology and infrastructure projects we need to transition away from fossil fuels. It would reduce income inequality and bring solutions to communities that have been left behind.
Like the original New Deal, this plan would mean a major transformation of our economy. To achieve its goals, we would need to accomplish a lot that is not explicitly mentioned in the plan, like keeping existing fossil fuels in the ground. This vision is bold – but it is necessary, and it is possible. We already know what we need to do to get off of fossil fuels today. What we need is the political will.
And that much-needed political will is coming. Progressive champion Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, along with her colleague Sen. Ed Markey, recently introduced an ambitious resolution for a Green New Deal in Congress. Their plan would transition the United States to 100% clean energy by 2030, invest in communities on the frontlines of poverty and pollution, and guarantee a good job to anyone ready to make this happen. As of May, 92 representatives and 12 senators have signed on as co-sponsors so far.
But passage of such a bold plan won’t be easy. Big Oil special interests, which have hundreds of billions of dollars at stake, plan to fight this plan to protect their bottom line. In fact, according to an analysis by Maplight, an organization that tracks the influence of money in politics, opponents of a Green New Deal received 24 times more campaign cash from the oil and gas industry as those who support the resolution.
We can fight to counter their influence. If we push as many of our elected officials to support a Green New Deal resolution as possible, we will force congressional leadership to recognize that there is a powerful movement behind a Green New Deal.
That’s why we’ve launched a petition urging Congress to stand with Rep. Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Markey and sign on to support a Green New Deal resolution. You can add your name here to join the more than 70,000 CREDO members who have already signed on.
With your help, CREDO and our allies can help tackle the climate crisis and ensure Congress takes this bold step to address the biggest crisis facing our planet. The climate crisis is too urgent to do anything else.
It would look infinitely better. And that’s why CREDO and our allies are ramping up pressure on the Democratic House of Representatives to pass bold, transformative climate and green jobs initiatives and legislation.
If you’re concerned about climate change, here’s another step you can take right now: switch your phone service to CREDO Mobile and your home electricity to CREDO Energy. We fight for climate justice through CREDO Action and donate to environmental organizations that are fighting the climate crisis every day, as well as many other progressive groups. Take a look at who we fund and vote to determine how we distribute donations this month.

5 Twitter Accounts Fighting Trump’s Anti-immigrant Agenda
Follow these five groups standing up for immigrant rights and saying no to Trump’s racism.
No child should be ripped from their parents arms. Yet Donald Trump and the vile racists who are implementing his dangerous immigration agenda continue to separate families at the border and do everything they can to instill fear in immigrant communities.
That’s why CREDO and our allies are fighting back and keeping up the pressure on the Trump administration. Here are five of our allies who will keep you informed and ready to take action. They’re each part of the movement fighting to reunite families and hold the xenophobes who tore them apart accountable.
Families Belong Together (@fams2gether)
Families Belong Together is a coalition of nearly 250 progressive activist organizations who have raised millions of dollars to help immigrant families. They organized last year’s “Families Belong Together” protest in over 700 cities and towns across the country.
Led by groups including the National Domestic Workers Alliance, the Women’s Refugee Commission, MomsRising, United We Dream, People’s Action, the ACLU, the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights and CREDO and others, the coalition works together to permanently end family separation, reunite immigrant families, and hold the government and its corporate enablers accountable for hurting them.
Mijente (@ConMijente)
Mijente is a national hub for Latinx and Chicanx organizing. Mijente members are leaders of movements for justice and self-determination for all people.
Along with fighting to free families that ICE separated and jailed, Mijente is also leading the charge to expose and hold accountable tech companies like Amazon, which are working with ICE to deport immigrants.
After CREDO members voted to donate $21,690 to Mijente, the organization said, “With your support, Mijente will work tirelessly to stop Trump’s agenda and build an alternative that offers us a better way forward through intersectional movements for racial justice, grassroots power, and organizing.”
Movimiento Cosecha (@CosechaMovement)
Coescha is a nonviolent immigrant-led organization whose mission is to fight for permanent protection, dignity, and respect for the 22 million undocumented immigrants in the United States. Cosecha is on the front lines providing direct support to immigrant families at the border and in communities across the country.
Cosecha organizers joined members of the Central American migrant caravan for a week-long hunger strike and recorded and helped expose Border Patrol’s tear gas attacks on families crossing the border. It just launched a nationwide campaign to expand protections for immigrants by demanding that states make driver’s licenses available to all, regardless of immigration status.
CREDO members have voted to donate to the organization.
UndocuBlack Network (@UndocuBlack)
UndocuBlack Network is a multigenerational network of formerly and currently undocumented Black immigrants. UBN works toward creating an inclusive immigrant rights and racial justice movement that fights for the rights of Black undocumented individuals and provides healing spaces for its community.
UBN fights to keep families together by working to block the Trump administration’s attempts to deport Temporary Protected Status and Deferred Enforcement Departure holders. Many people with TPS and DED immigrated to the United States from African and Carribean countries decades ago, bought houses, grew their families and became an important part of their communities. UndocuBlack, in partnership with United We Dream, is also leading the effort to win permanent protection for Dreamers and people with TPS and DED.
United We Dream (@UNITEDWEDREAM)
United We Dream is the largest immigrant youth-led community in the United States. It provides welcoming spaces for immigrant young people and help develop their leadership and organizing skills.
United We Dream leads campaigns at the local, state and federal levels to win protections for immigrants and block racist policies. As leaders in the #DefundHate coalition, United We Dream, CREDO, and many other immigrant rights and progressive organizations are fighting for Congress to cut funding for Trump’s deportation force and agenda. United We Dream, in partnership with UndocuBlack, is also leading the effort to win permanent protection for Dreamers and people with TPS and DED.
CREDO members have voted to donate more than $120,000 to United We Dream Action.

Vote to fund Center for Media and Democracy, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières, and Movement School this May
Every month, CREDO members vote to distribute our monthly donation among three great progressive organizations. This May, you can help groups providing global medical relief, exposing right-wing attacks on our democracy and building the next generation of progressive organizers by casting your vote for the Center for Media and Democracy, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières and Movement School.
Center for Media and Democracy
The Center for Media and Democracy‘s award-winning investigations expose the ALEC playbook, the Koch Machine and right-wing pay-to-play groups mounting relentless attacks on voting rights, working families, unions, public education and the environment.
Support from CREDO members will help CMD pull back the curtain on the Right’s playbook, priorities and funding stream as we head into 2020 and help the organization fight in court to protect your right to know which special interests are manipulating our democracy.
Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières
The mission of Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières is to provide impartial medical relief to the victims of war, disease and natural or man-made disaster, without regard to race, religion or political affiliation.
Funding from CREDO members will enable MSF field workers to alleviate suffering by providing free, quality and lifesaving medical care around the world. A grant from CREDO would provide MSF the ability to provide lifesaving therapeutic food to children suffering from severe malnutrition, shelter kits with supplies to build shelters for uprooted families during a crisis, or anesthesia kits with drugs and supplies to doctors on the ground.
Movement SchoolBecause the progressive movement lacks the political power to enact solutions that are as big as the crises we face, Movement School is building the next generation of progressive organizers who will translate activist power into political power as campaign leaders for progressive candidates.
Funding from CREDO members would help Movement School train more fearless organizers who will help elect working-class leaders all across the country like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Your vote this month will determine how we divide our monthly donation among these three progressive groups. Be sure to cast your vote to support one, two or all three by May 31.
CREDO members who use our products and services everyday are the reason why we are able to make these donations each month. Learn more about CREDO Mobile and CREDO Energy and join our movement.

CREDO Tips: Ocean Plastic Problem: 5 Ways You Can Help Stop It
Last month, a 1,110-pound whale washed up on a beach in the Philippines with 88 pounds of plastic inside its body. A few weeks later, a pregnant sperm whale was found dead off the coast of Sardinia, Italy, with nearly 50 pounds of plastic crowding two-thirds of its stomach.
These tragic events highlight the mounting issue of unchecked plastic garbage polluting our oceans and its effects on wildlife, our environment, and the climate.
So what can we do to stop the billions of pounds of plastics being dumped in oceans each year? Here’s some background and five ways you can take action.
How does plastic get into the ocean in the first place?
Twenty percent of ocean plastic comes from ships and offshore platforms. The rest is a mix of garbage dumping – nearly 8 million metric tons of plastics are dumped into the ocean every year – and litter blown into the sea.
Because plastic isn’t biodegradable, it instead breaks down into tiny particles called microplastics that fish can eat.
Plastic pollution in our oceans is so vast that, at the current rates, plastic will outweigh fish by 2050. Here’s a good explainer from Vox.
5 Ways You Can Help Stop the Ocean Plastic Problem
Here are five things you can do to help slow the ocean plastic pollution problem:
Contact your elected officials
Urge your elected officials at the local, state, and federal level to support a ban or tax on disposable, single-use plastic. You can find your elected officials here.
Put public pressure on corporations
Consumer pressure on corporate polluters and brands that encourage disposable plastic works. CREDO members, along with our allies, successfully pressured Starbucks to create a 100% recyclable cup. Take action, like signing petitions, making calls and using social media to pressure corporations to stop the plastic pollution problem.
Make the climate connection
Plastic is derived from chemicals in fossil fuels which makes it a source of climate emissions and pollution. And the fossil fuel industry depends on plastic production for a chunk of its climate-destroying revenue. In fact, the fossil fuel industry is set to triple plastic exports by 2030. The more we understand where plastics come from – and why they are so cheap and readily available – the better we can fight back.
Attend town halls and debates
With the 2020 election season heating up, you can attend town halls and debates to ask local candidates – maybe even presidential nominees – to release their plan for cleaning up the ocean plastic problem and tackling the climate crisis. In fact, you can sign our petition urging the Democratic National Committee to hold a Democratic 2020 presidential primary debate focused on climate action here.
Stop using single-use plastics
While much of the ocean plastic problem must be solved by governments and corporations making drastic changes to policies and regulations and how business is conducted, we can all do our part by changing our behavior and reducing our use of plastic water bottles, straws, bags, and other single-use plastics. Here are nine ways to cut down your use of plastics.

The Green New Deal Isn’t Unrealistic, It’s Necessary
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been scared about climate change.
Growing up, I heard about how my hometown of Boston could be largely underwater by the end of the century. I grew up watching increasingly severe droughts and floods take thousands of lives in southern India, where my family is from, and fearing my family might be next. Every step of my life, fear of climate change has been a potent, tangible force. It feels less like some abstract scientific fact in a textbook and more like knowing a giant asteroid is heading toward my family.
Today, much of my generation can’t escape that fear even as we make life decisions about whether or not to have children. Is it moral to bring someone new into a planet that’s 3degrees warmer? How much of our income should we save for retirement? What’s really the point, if the planet’s going to look like Mad Max?
Which is why, when I read the UN reports that say we have little more than a decade to solve this problem, I’m overwhelmed by a powerful sense that this is an emergency. We simply don’t have time, as a society, to keep having the same pointless debates about whether the science is real or to continue predicting the odds that some particular piece of legislation can clear the Senate. All that’s left is to put forward an idea that actually meets the scale of the crisis within the necessary time frame – one that can ensure millions of people, who are disproportionately low-income and people of color, don’t lose their lives to climate-charged storms, floods or other natural disasters – and then do everything in our power to make it happen, in a coordinated effort across every sector of our economy.
There is not a single idea being debated in the halls of Congress today ambitious enough to do that, except for the Green New Deal, written by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Ed Markey. As we worked with Sen. Markey and Rep. Ocasio-Cortez on their resolution, we expected the usual objections to come our way. We expected, as had been the case with the Waxman-Markey bill early on in the Obama presidency, that Washington Republicans bought out by fossil fuel CEOs would scream bloody murder. We correctly predicted, as had been the case with numerous proponents of carbon tax proposals over the years, that we would be dismissed as idealistic children, too naive to be concerned with the details of how experts think politics happens. But what we truly didn’t see coming was this new notion that we are unrealistic, that the lofty ambition of our idea is itself proof of our lack of seriousness.
Pundits, from the pages of New York Magazine to Mother Jones, hammer away with the argument that the Green New Deal is too ambitious to even consider seriously. They are joined by billionaire coffee magnate Howard Schultz, who dismisses the idea with much the same condescension as Sen. Dianne Feinstein and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who pretended not to remember even the name of the resolution in mocking it as a “green dream.” Even the New York Times editorial board declares the Green New Deal only a little better than the apocalyptic nightmare it aims to prevent, advocating instead for “step-by-step measures” like reversing Trump-era environmental deregulation and “tax incentives for electric vehicles.”
Those well-intentioned critiques outlining a more “realistic” alternative might have been convincing 30 years ago, before Exxon’s decades-long disinformation campaign and systematic bribery of elected officials forced our political system into stalemate on this issue.
Thirty years ago, step-by-step policy tweaks might have given us a fighting chance at avoiding catastrophic climate change within my generation’s lifetime. But in the time since, we’ve seen every opportunity to pass meaningful climate legislation crushed by moneyed opposition and cynical poisoning of the public dialogue. We’ve had to organize tirelessly to push our own allies, like President Obama, to reject dangerous oil pipelines and drilling. If we’ve learned anything, watching report after report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change sound the alarm while politicians debate dead-on-arrival, small-bore policies, it’s that a step-by-step process of incremental changes, as a strategy, has failed to safeguard our future or our planet.
If we are serious about averting catastrophe, it’s clear that we need a new approach to this crisis, something that can break through all the forces that make climate action so difficult: corporate power, partisan polarization and the debasement of the nation’s “conservative” party into a vehicle for plutocrats, racists and anti-science cynics.
Any chance of winning this fight depends on igniting powerful social movements to change the political weather and build an expansive political coalition capable of taking on the fossil fuel lobby. To do that we need to make a new, salient and values-based argument that speaks to America’s hopes and fears: A vision of our future where all of us can thrive in a prosperous and healthy world.

CREDO has a long record of fighting for our members’ privacy rights
Here at CREDO, we take customer privacy very seriously. In fact, respecting our customers’ privacy rights is a core mission of our company, and we have a long history of fighting for it.
Unlike other carriers like AT&T and T-Mobile, who sell their customers’ private data for profit – your data is not for sale at CREDO. No amount of money will ever change that.
That dedication to customer privacy is why we have consistently earned the highest rating on the Electronic Frontier Foundation’s “Who has your back?” privacy report, which grades how technology companies protect customer data from government requests. In each year CREDO has been included in the report – 2017 2015, and 2014 – CREDO was the only mobile carrier to earn every star.
We were the first carrier to issue a transparency report in 2014, following Edward Snowden’s revelations that phone companies were handing over vast quantities of private data to the National Security Agency. We now issue quarterly transparency reports detailing requests by the government for customer data, because we believe there should be as much transparency as possible regarding government surveillance, and that our customers have the right to know when governmental entities request access to their information or communications.
We will fight the government in court to protect our customers’ privacy – and we have. When we received secret “National Security Letters” from the federal government to hand over customer data, we not only fought the requests in court on behalf of our customers, but we also challenged the gag orders to prevent us from notifying our customers or the public of the letters’ existence. We ultimately won the right to disclose the existence of three NSLs that the government fought for years to keep secret.
And through our activism and donations, we fight for civil liberties and privacy every day. Hundreds of thousands of CREDO activists have taken action to stop illegal surveillance and government intrusion, uphold free speech, and protect whistleblowers, online privacy and net neutrality. We’ve donated more than $3 million to groups fighting for civil liberties, like the American Civil Liberties Union, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Free Press and Demand Progress.
We are proud of our work to protect civil liberties and stand up for our customers’ constitutional right to privacy and we will continue to fight any attempts to the contrary. It’s core to our mission to unapologetically fight for our customers’ rights. And if you’re interested in joining the wireless carrier fighting for your privacy, learn more about CREDO Mobile here.

CREDO Tips: 4 tips to tell you if a news story is real or fake
It’s Donald Trump favorite way to dismiss real news he doesn’t like. Ironically, he’s guilty of spreading so many lies – more than 8,000 in his first two years – that he’s a one-person fake news outlet.
Sadly, the right-wing attack on factual reporting is eroding trust in the news media.
But actual “fake news” is a big problem online.
False news stories, meant to appear legitimate, played a role in the 2016 presidential election. And Russian trolls and other bad actors continue to spread misinformation to meddle in our political process. You may even have fallen victim by sharing a fake news story on social media.
So how can you spot fake news and stop the spread of false news stories online? We have four tips for you.
Check the source
Every day, we see some pretty outrageous news stories online. Some are clearly false, and some sound too good to be true. So what’s real and what’s fake?
First, check the source. Reputable news outlets are objective, generally adhere to fact-checking standards, and try to avoid sensationalism. Some of these are names you know: The New York Times, The Washington Post, NPR, and the Associated Press. That’s a good place to start.
Additionally, some fake news sites are made to look like a legitimate news website. Check the URL to ensure it’s a site you recognize. Sometimes fake news URLs are a misspelled version of real news site or may not end with “.com” or “.org”, but .co, .ru or something else uncommon.
Here are some additional tips from the library at the University of California, Merced.
Be skeptical
Objective journalism seeks the truth by getting the facts right. And while reputable journalists sometimes make mistakes, they strive to meet ethical journalistic standards and issue corrections when they’ve erred.
Some credible news sources have a bias, and in some cases, that’s okay because their news reporting can still be accurate while including a point of view. (think HuffPost or Vox.).
But if a story has a sensational headline or seems to overly reinforce your already-held beliefs, be skeptical.
Then ask yourself: Who gains from this reporting? Most fake news benefits from spreading blatantly false content to sway opinion or drive traffic to their fake news sites to sell advertising. Don’t fall into the trap.
What exactly are you looking at?
Not all articles on a reputable news site are hard news. Some stories are factual reporting. Others are meant to entertain or sway opinion. It’s important to know what kind of article you’re reading.
Hard News
Legitimate news articles are based on facts. They answer the crucial questions who, what, why, where, and when.
An example of a legitimate news story would be A Virtual Solar Power Plant for L.A? “It Will Happen in The New York Times.
Opinion
These include editorials, op-eds, and many blog posts. They are usually based on facts but contain a point of view – sometimes the bias is very clear, but more often than not, it may be a little harder to suss out.
In reputable publications, opinion pieces are clearly labeled. Here’s an example from The Washington Post:
Biased News
Like all of us, reporters and bloggers are human, and they have opinions, too. Some outlets report hard news with a clear point of view, and many of them are honest about their bias. For example, see the “About” page at Think Progress:
However, extremely biased outlets like Trump’s propaganda machine Fox News often mix opinion and entertainment with news, making it difficult for an audience to know what’s real and what’s fake. Fox News’ slogans “Fair and Balanced,” and more recently “Real news. Real honest opinion” is so brazenly misleading that 67% of Republicans find Fox News their most trusted source.
Google it
This is an easy one: Before sharing a questionable news story, do a quick Google search. Are other reputable news sites reporting the same story, in a similar way? If so, there’s a greater likelihood that the news story is legitimate.
These are just four ways to help determine if an article is real or fake. Are there other methods you use? We’d love to hear about them.

Did AT&T violate federal law by contributing $2 million to Trump’s inauguration?
New subpoenas could shed some light
AT&T could be in the hot seat with federal and state prosecutors and Congress for its $2 million donation to Trump’s inaugural committee.
Recently, federal officials, state attorneys general across three jurisdictions and the House Judiciary Committee issued subpoenas or requests for documents to uncover how the Trump inaugural committee raised a record-setting $107 million from deep-pocketed donors and how they spent it.
Officials want to know not only whether Trump misspent the money, but if donors, some of who gave millions to his inauguration, were trying to influence the incoming administration.
This is significant because, as “Money” put it, “Giving money to politicians or political committees in exchange for political favors can be construed as a violation of federal corruption laws.”
As the inauguration’s largest corporate contributor, AT&T could now be under the microscope for participating in yet another massive pay-to-play scheme.
Last year, we learned that AT&T paid Michael Cohen, Trump’s longtime lawyer and fixer, $600,000 to advise the telecom giant on “regulatory policy development,” although he has no experience in policy or the telecom sector. Some believe the payments were used to influence the FCC’s decision to repeal net neutrality protections.
It appears that AT&T’s huge inauguration donation may also have paid off. According to legal documents uncovered last year, the National Security Agency awarded AT&T a secret $3.3 billion contract even though its proposal came in more than $750 million higher than a competitor’s. We’ve known for a while that AT&T worked hand-in-hand with the NSA to spy on Americans’ internet traffic, but this is a new low.
Unlike several large mobile carriers, CREDO will never attempt to influence the Trump administration with donations. Quite the opposite. We donate every month directly to progressive causes fighting Trump’s dangerous, hateful and corrupt agenda.
If you’d like to learn more about how you can join the nation’s only progressive mobile carrier fighting the Trump administration and put your dollars toward progressive change, visit CREDO Mobile.
