Yet as the crisis mounts, it seems to be disappearing from progressive legislative dockets, debate stages, and teleprompters. Is it not cool to talk about climate change anymore?<\/p>\n<p>Whatever the political calculus behind this retreat, progressives cannot afford to treat climate change as a secondary issue. Our ability to confront this crisis requires the most ardent and vocal champions of affordability and corporate accountability to put it on the agenda. Many voters, especially young people, are counting on Democrats to fight for our futures at every turn\u2014from climate change to healthcare, higher education, and the cost of living crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Affordability means climate action and climate justice. Too often, a just green transition gets confused for a rose, but this fight is about having our bread\u2014not just for tomorrow but for every day after and for generations to come. <\/p>\n<div id=\"article-end-\" class=\"article-end \">\n<div class=\"article-end__authors\">\n<div class=\"article-end__author\">\n<h5 class=\"article-end__author-name\">\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thenation.com\/authors\/ilana-cohen\/\">Ilana Cohen<\/a><br \/>\n                    <\/h5>\n<div class=\"article-end__author-bio\">\n<p>Ilana Cohen is a student at NYU Law, a freelance climate journalist, and a former leader of the Fossil Fuel Divest Harvard campaign.
