Friend,

We're speechless. Together, we sent EPA nearly 100,000 comments demanding strong carbon pollution standards for power plants. 

This community made up a whopping one-tenth of the one million total comments submitted to EPA in response to its proposed carbon standards. We are truly building something powerful.

And we must. Strengthening these rules is one of President Biden's most impactful climate tools, and thanks to your advocacy, EPA knows what's at stake. 

These numbers don't lie, and it's clear what the American people want. But our fight isn't over. Utility lobbying group Edison Electric Institute (EEI) is trying to gut these rules before they're finished. 

EEI represents utilities across the U.S., providing power to over 235 million Americans. And your utility company (sometimes called power companies) might be one of their members—meaning, you might be unintentionally funding EEI's efforts to delay climate action through your utility bill.

Over this past week, thousands of online activists tweeted at their utility companies, demanding they do right by their customers and the planet—you can join them. Don't have or use Twitter? You can reshare this Instagram reel we shot in front of EEI's headquarters. 

We're making powerful noise, and decision-makers are noticing—let's keep the pressure on. 

Onward,
