Leandro Grass proposes climate emergency for Federal District

Leandro Grass, the PT candidate for the Government of the Federal District (GDF), has outlined key campaign priorities focusing on climate change, public transportation, and social welfare.

Addressing recent storm damage in Arapoanga, Planaltina, and Samambaia, Grass proposed declaring a climate emergency if elected. His strategy to mitigate climate effects includes improving housing for vulnerable families, combating illegal deforestation, and monitoring land occupation. Regarding public transport, Grass pledged that technological advancements, such as electronic payment cards, would not lead to the dismissal of bus conductors, emphasizing their role in assisting passengers.

His campaign schedule includes meetings with the National Association of Rail Transport (ANPTrilhos) to discuss rail transport advocacy, as well as visits to social institutions such as Instituto Acolher, which supports women recovering from breast cancer, and Instituto Meninos do Pôr do Sol. Grass is also engaging with various communities across the Federal District, including Ceilândia and Vila Telebrasília, and participating in youth-focused political discussions.
