Raphael Warnock belongs to a coalition that has openly called for the U.S. to \u201cend all financing of fossil fuel production,\u201d newly unearthed documents from last year show. <\/p>\n<p>Warnock \u2014 who is gearing up for a runoff election against Republican challenger Herschel Walker on Dec. 6 \u2014 is pastor to the Atlanta-based Ebenezer Baptist Church, which is a <a href=\"https:\/\/pnbc.org\/map-states-regions\/?page_state=ga\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">member<\/a> of the Progressive National Baptist Convention (PNBC). As recently as 2018, he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.philasun.com\/local\/the-path-forward-for-social-justice-an-intergenerational-challenge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">served<\/a> as the chair of the convention\u2019s Social Justice Commission.<\/p>\n<p>PNBC is a left-leaning, predominately black denomination that is preoccupied with racial \u201csocial justice\u201d issues. While the denomination is allegedly Christian, its focus appears to be entirely on advancing policy prescriptions that are indistinguishable from those of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. This includes advocating for reparations, critical race theory, open borders, <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/democrats\/warnocks-church-belongs-to-coalition-that-wants-to-end-military-aid-to-israel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ending all military aid to Israel<\/a> in favor of Palestine, and denouncing the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pnbc.org\/assets\/uploads\/2019\/10\/2019-PNBC-Resolutions.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">white supremacy and racism<\/a>\u201d of Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>In 2021, PNBC issued a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pnbc.org\/assets\/uploads\/2021\/09\/pnbc-resolutions-2021.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">resolution<\/a> urging the U.S. to \u201cend all financing of fossil fuel production\u201d due to climate change\u2019s \u201cdisproportionate impact on Black Lives.\u201d The resolution further states that the U.S. must invest in a \u201cgreen new deal\u201d for Africa, \u201cleading to a complete phase-out of oil, gas, and coal financing.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The resolution describes climate change as a \u201cbi-product of an economic system based on extraction, exploitation, accumulation through dispossession, and systemic racism,\u201d and insists \u201ca Green New Deal \u2026 is needed to create equitable solutions for Black communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Warnock himself has also called for the U.S. to move away from fossil fuels. In a 2020 interview with Georgia Conservation Voters, Warnock <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/democrats\/warnock-calls-for-ending-fossil-fuels-in-unearthed-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a> \u201cwe need to be moving away from an economy that\u2019s based on fossil fuels, that\u2019s the way of the past and we need to be moving toward the future.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>While gas prices and other costs have skyrocketed in the two years since Warnock took office, Warnock \u2014 besides limply calling for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2022\/02\/16\/vulnerable-senate-dems-tax-cuts-00009497\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">gas tax holiday<\/a> \u2014 has done nothing to help bring costs down.
