We want to make sure people know deeply about the trans community and deeply about Black Lives Matter so that people can act in solidarity.

To make sure we aren't training people for jobs that don't exist, the government should provide companies with loans or loan guarantees. And the government should also directly employ people to do things like coastal restoration, land restoration, reforestation and similar programs that absorb carbon and protect America's beauty.
