What you might not know about climate change

Friend, it’s no secret that the climate crisis is
intensifying. Floods are displacing entire communities, wildfires are worsening
air quality and communal health, and hurricanes are becoming more damaging and
frequent.

What is lesser known about the climate crisis is that immigrant workers are
often the first on the scene after disasters, helping clean up and rebuild in
dangerous conditions.

This Earth Day, we’re calling on Congress to invest in the workers who respond
to climate disasters by reintroducing and passing the Climate Resilience
Workforce Act . This bill would ensure this workforce is recognized and
protected while also working to combat climate change. Join us in sending a
message >>>

[[link removed]]Climate recovery work is dangerous. While rebuilding communities, workers face
extreme temperatures, heavy smoke, and extreme weather. To make matters worse,
these jobs are often rife with workplace safety and health violations. Many of
the workers are undocumented, without access to health care and basic safety net
programs should they become sick or injured on the job.

Immigrants are a vital part of our society. All workers deserve safe workplaces
and to earn fair pay, and people whose contributions make our country stronger
and safer should be provided with a pathway to citizenship.

As storm seasons and climate disasters intensify due to the worsening climate
crisis, we must do better for those on the frontlines of disaster recovery. So
friend, on Earth Day, will you send a message to your
elected officials to swiftly reintroduce and pass the Climate Resilience
Workforce Act ?
