Brooklyn, NY — 350 Action strongly supports Rep. Keith Ellison for Chair of the Democratic National Committee. Executive Director May Boeve issued the following statement:

“Representative Keith Ellison is the right person to rebuild a Democratic Party that understands that the fight for climate justice is key to the party’s success. Clinton failed to energize progressives by staying silent on fights like Dakota Access, failed to name a common enemy in Wall Street and the fossil fuel industry, and failed to convince the Rust Belt that Democrats are the party of clean energy jobs. Ellison has opposed Keystone XL, opposed Dakota Access, and marched in the streets with us for a new economy that works for people and planet. That’s the type of vision we need for our country and the type of vision that can win elections ahead.”
