On November 4, 2019 -- exactly one year before the 2020 elections – President Trump notified the U.N. that the U.S. would be the only country in the world to reject the historic Paris climate agreement.
Then and now, the President’s refusal act on climate is selfish, stubborn and short-sighted.
But dedicated people like you and me, who are fighting every day to secure a safer climate future together – we were never going to let his shameful decision be the final word on U.S. climate action.
Not even close.
You made yourself heard. Tens of thousands of EDF activists sent messages to Congress in the days and weeks that followed, demanding action from your representatives. And you got results.
On November 21, the House of Representatives introduced legislation with one simple yet audacious goal:
Getting to a zero pollution future, and a 100% clean economy.
It's a big goal, and it won't happen overnight - but you can help accelerate our progress by starting a monthly EDF Action Partner gift.
Start your monthly gift of $10 or more by midnight this Saturday to receive a free, limited-edition 100% Clean t-shirt.
The more cosponsors a piece of legislation has, the more power it carries. It shows a political force that can't be ignored. Already, one-third of the House of Representatives has signed on to cosponsor the bill – and we’re working hard to grow that list.
This is one of those rare moments when the wind is at our backs and momentum is on our side. After years of spending all of our time beating back Trump's attacks on climate action, this is our chance to be proactive and move forward.
With your support, we’ll make sure climate remains a top-tier political priority at all levels of government, until the day we achieve our goal of passing strong, national climate legislation.
Let’s make history together by fighting for a better future together.
Sincerely,
Emily Stevenson
