Climate Change Issue Team Update
The United States and China-the world’s two largest economies-just struck a historic climate deal to fight climate change
aa
The details of this agreement are important: The United States will double the rate at which we reduce dangerous carbon pollution from fossil fuels. China announced that they will halt the growth of emissions by 2030-the first time a date has ever been set-and committed to get 20 percent of their energy from clean sources.If we’re going to avoid the worst impacts of climate change, it’s going to take international action-this agreement is exactly what that looks like.
Despite the overwhelming scientific consensus, and the increased extreme weather that we’re already experiencing, they argue: If China’s not taking action, why should we?
This climate deal the President just struck with China ends that debate.
OFA supporters have been on the front lines, calling for meaningful action. This is a turning point toward meeting the challenge that the science makes clear.
We are going to have a lot to do… Very, Very Shortly
Stand With Women Issue Team News
Let’s play a little game of “Did you know?”
Did you know women are the main breadwinners in a record-high 40% of households with children today? They make up nearly half of our workforce and they are more than half of this country’s college graduates.
Did you know, from paid leave to fair pay, today’s workplace policies too often don’t reflect today’s realities? For instance, did you know that lack of access to high-quality, affordable child care and early childhood education threatens the economic security of women and working families?
Unless things change, we are holding our families back and compromising our children’s chances at success. Unless things change, they won’t have a fair shot in life. That’s why we’re speaking up.

It’s time to Act .. It Is Time To Get Involved
Over the years the American Citizens have lost their voices, believing that we can not make a difference. We have been beat down by the constant droning noise of the conservative right. This onslaught has made us like sheep .. afraid to express our views. Not anymore! OFA gives us back our voices and by working together we are making change one issue at a time. Together we can and will make a difference.
Thank You to our NWSOFA Issue Leads in 2013 !!
