Citizens Climate Lobby Letterhead

Hi John,

Already this year, we’ve seen a ton of momentum around the PROVE IT Act, a bipartisan bill introduced in the Senate. In January, it passed out of committee after a wave of phone calls from CCLers 🏄 We’re hopeful that a House companion bill will be introduced soon, too, if we can keep this momentum going!

Ask your members of Congress to cosponsor the PROVE IT Act 📝

Email Congress

As a reminder, the PROVE IT Act would require the Department of Energy to collect data on the carbon intensity of a specific set of goods manufactured in the U.S. It’s another stepping stone in existing, bipartisan efforts to tackle international emissions.

Knowing our own carbon output data will help us negotiate effectively and accurately as our trade partners set up their own CBAM systems. This helps protect U.S. industries from higher-polluting foreign competition

Trade is a powerful tool to reduce emissions, but we can’t participate effectively if we aren’t prepared. Take a minute to tell your members of Congress you need them to support the PROVE IT Act.

With gratitude,

Brett Cease
Vice President of Programs, Citizens' Climate Lobby
