He had earlier released the following statement showing his support
"If you want to see an end to air pollution and an end to fossil-fuel dependency; if you want to see the recovery of biodiversity and the growth of a Green New Deal; if you believe that social justice and environmental justice are closely aligned, then I'm with you. I'll be voting Green on Thursday May 23rd - join me! It's time."
