The undersigned Oakland County residents support enacting the 2020 Oakland County Climate, Jobs and Justice Platform:

--Create good jobs through investment in clean energy.

--Eliminate lead contamination in drinking water, protecting the most vulnerable. Take action to stop water pollution.

--Modernize and enhance bus transit, and make the Woodward Avenue corridor friendly to low-carbon transit.
