Since our coalition delivered a letter three weeks ago urging all of the Democratic presidential candidates to take the “NoKXL Pledge,” we’ve received an amazing response — with TEN candidates taking the pledge so far:
- Sen. Elizabeth Warren (8/13/19)
- Gov. Jay Inslee (8/13/19)
- Sen. Bernie Sanders (8/14/19)
- Tom Steyer (8/15/19)
- Sec. Julian Castro (8/19/19)
- Mayor Bill de Blasio (8/19/19)
- Sen. Cory Booker (8/27/19)
- Admiral Joe Sestak (8/28/19)
- Mayor Pete Buttigieg (8/28/19)
- Sen. Kamala Harris (8/29/19)
We reached out to all of the Democratic candidates on Aug. 13, but we haven’t heard back yet with a commitment to take the NoKXL Pledge from former Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Rep. Beto O’Rourke, Andrew Yang, Tulsi Gabbard,
