Dear NRDC Action Fund Supporter,
This is
urgent. Congress could soon vote on a COVID-19 economic stimulus and
relief aid package.
We are working to ensure that Congress passes a stimulus bill that
protects people and prepares us for a more sustainable and healthy
economic future. But as it stands, they risk passing a stimulus bill that
dangerously misses the mark. It could end up diverting resources away from
healthcare providers, small businesses, and communities that need help the
most, while bailing out fossil fuel companies and other polluting
industries and leaving us with a less durable, sustainable, and healthy
economic future. We can't let that happen.
[ [link removed] ]Send an urgent message to
your
representatives, pushing them to pass a COVID-19 stimulus
package that helps those who need it most: families, small businesses,
healthcare workers, and marginalized communities — NOT fossil fuel
companies and other polluting industries.
This is a moment to address the national crisis head on, by taking care of
people whose health and economic security is at greatest risk, spurring
immediate job creation, and positioning the country for sustainable and
durable recovery. It's a time to throw a lifeline to struggling people who
need it most, not hand over taxpayer bailouts to the fossil fuel industry.
Any package must address near-term critical needs, including keeping the
lights on and water running in people's homes, protecting access to
housing and food, and providing desperately needed assistance for health
care and other workers on the frontlines of this public health crisis. And
it also MUST support communities at greater risk from this pandemic —
low-income and marginalized communities, and communities of color.
We also need to make sure the stimulus sets us up for a strong, sound
economy for the long-term — one that is more equitable and sustainable and
that tackles climate change. That means investments in cleaner, smarter
ways to power our future that will create jobs and safer, healthier
communities.
Investing in clean energy is the smart bet for a stronger economy going
forward. And it's a vital part of job-creating stimulus we need right now.
[ [link removed] ]Please act now: Call on Congress to
urgently pass a COVID-19 relief package that helps those who need it most
and doesn't bail out polluters.
The COVID-19 crisis is exacerbating environmental justice issues around
the country, and millions of Americans are struggling. This is NOT the
moment for Congress to bail out polluting fossil fuel companies or write a
blank check to major airlines.
Congress MUST put people first: They MUST help those who are most at-risk,
protect workers, families, and small businesses from the economic downfall
caused by the Coronavirus, and fully fund the medical research, supplies
and infrastructure that we desperately need. And they must get it done
IMMEDIATELY.
[ [link removed] ]Can we count on you to act urgently and push for emergency relief for
all communities in America?
Thank you for continuing to stand with us at this dire moment.
Sincerely,
