Indivisibles,
Exactly one year ago today, President Biden signed into law the biggest
climate legislation in our country’s history. It doesn’t just fight Big
Oil by slashing carbon emissions and creating a clean energy future for
folks of every zip code and race. It also prioritizes equity and justice:
It’s got big incentives for clean energy projects to pay a fair wage,
commits that [ [link removed] ]40% of benefits of climate investments go to disadvantaged
communities, and gives extra perks for [ [link removed] ]energy communities that have
historically relied on the fossil fuel industry.
Oh, and by the way, this same bill ALSO directly takes on Big Pharma by
lowering prescription drug prices for seniors, making premiums more
affordable for folks who buy their own insurance, and requiring
corporations and the uber wealthy to pay their fair share of taxes. That’s
a lot of good packed into a law most people haven’t heard of. If you’ve
been here a while and have already heard about the launch of our
[ [link removed] ]Powering Progress campaign, you know we’re talking about the Inflation
Reduction Act.Â
But we’ll say it: the Inflation Reduction Act is a poorly named bill. It
doesn’t capture the grandmother in Georgia who can spend more time
visiting her family because she doesn’t need to worry about her insulin
prices. The young couple in Montana who can now afford solar panels so
their home will be more resilient. The new worker in Nevada who now has
job prospects in clean energy. Let’s change that.Â
Let’s make the Inflation Reduction Act famous. Start today. We’ve got a
simple way for you to [ [link removed] ]celebrate the anniversary online using our mini
toolkit. Talk about your favorite part of the IRA, and include a personal
story if you can. And a big perk of taking this simple action: by
spreading the truth about the IRA, we help to drown out any false
information about what’s in the bill or who benefits. Please don’t forget
to tag @indivisibleteam in your posts!Â
[ [link removed] ]Something we all can celebrate: clean energy jobs!
Why does this matter? Because the Inflation Reduction Act – when we take
out the wonky language and boring name🙂 -- is unbelievably popular. Across
political divisions, racial lines, and geography, we all like affordable
healthcare. We (almost) all know that climate change is impacting our
communities, and we want to be part of the solution… and part of the
economic boom of domestic manufacturing that comes along with it. But we
don’t all believe the government can and does play an active role in
improving our lives. The Inflation Reduction Act gives us a rare
opportunity to tell a united story about how our government is the tool we
need to fully fund our communities. So let’s get the word out!Â
Indivisible groups are already celebrating, with many more celebration
events to come! ([ [link removed] ]Join an event here, or [ [link removed] ]register your own here.)
[ [link removed] ]Indivisibles celebrating the IRA
Together, we can get the word out about the benefits of the IRA and unite
and heal our communities. There has never been a better time to get
involved -- and remember we can’t do all this work without you.Â
In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
P.S. Are you still learning about all the benefits in the IRA, or are you
a nerd 🤓 and want to test your knowledge? Check out a [ [link removed] ]fun quiz from our
friends at Evergreen Action for a brain teaser about everything we have to
celebrate.Â
