John,

Today, a United Nations report was released that sheds light on the connection between the climate crisis and our food system. Our current approach to producing food is bad for the climate, and we have to move to a more sustainable system to ensure we have food to eat, and a planet on which to live.1,2

Our climate crisis demands leadership, and it’s clear that Trump’s environmental policy — attempting to roll back environmental rules, continuously denying the science behind climate change and doubling down on dirty energy3,4,5,6,7 — is a funhouse version of what is actually required for leadership.

That’s why Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) introduced a joint resolution declaring a “climate emergency.”8 This would be a big step toward finding solutions for addressing our climate crisis.

Show your support for Congress taking steps toward addressing climate change.

It’s time to face the climate crisis with real climate leadership.

This resolution lays out the scope of what we need to do by declaring climate change “a climate emergency that severely and urgently impacts the economic and social well-being, health and safety, and national security of the United States,” and demands a “national, social, industrial, and economic mobilization of the resources and labor of the United States” in order to “restore the climate for future generations.”9

Fossil fuels are not clean energy, and natural gas isn’t going to solve the climate crisis. Trump and his administration touting natural gas as a clean energy solution is simply climate gaslighting for Big Oil and Gas profit.

True leadership would be phasing out fossil fuels for 100 percent clean, renewable energy and holding industry accountable for its pollution that endangers our air, water and food. It’s time to fight like we live here because this is the only planet we get.

Onward together,
