Cori Bush cheers on children participating in a 'Hunger Strike 4 Climate Justice'

Rep. Cori Bush cheered on these five children participating in the Sunrise Movement’s “Hunger Strike 4 Climate Justice” in the hope that their sacrifice will force President Joe Biden to fund the Green New Deal:

Young people are literally putting their lives on the line for climate action while some Members of Congress won’t even risk a penny of their corporate PAC money to back climate investments.

We need a Green New Deal now more than ever.

Love and solidarity, @sunrisemvmt 💜 https://t.co/vYz6Vye2bZ

“A better world is possible – one with clean air, clean water, clean energy, and good jobs that build our country with justice, care, and love,” they said:

Every year is the hottest on record. We’re losing our homes and loved ones to fires and floods. This climate crisis is a political choice. A better world is possible – one with clean air, clean water, clean energy, and good jobs that build our country with justice, care, and love

And we will continue to hunger strike until our demands are met by @POTUS

Well, it was nice knowing you kids because if they’re serious about this, they’re all going to die:

For those wondering, we will eat when politicians pass Biden’s full Build Back Better agenda.

Narrator: It will be Joe Manchin:

.@JoeBiden: It’s us, or Joe Manchin and his coal millions. It’s our lives, our families’ lives, and our communities — or Joe Manchin. Deliver on your promises. #BidenChooseUs
