We helped bring a delegation of students from historically black colleges to Paris for the #COP21 #Climate talks. They're here to press Barack Obama's negotiating team to bring home a deal that leaves 80% of fossil fuels in the ground and finances a just transition to 100% renewable energy by 2050. They're also key allies in building trust with frontline communities in the global south, who don't trust our Congress to follow through on the deals made here. We told them that Senators like Senator Harry Reid, Senator Chuck Schumer & Cory Booker are considering a deal to lift the ban on crude oil exports. So we asked the students what they thought and they say "THE BAN MUST STAND."
