John,
Next week House Republicans will attempt to remove one of the most crucial clean energy initiatives to date. We urgently need your support to protect this essential program.
Tell Congress: Protect GGRF!
What’s Happening: The House is threatening to do away with the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) and the Methane Emissions Reduction Program (MERP), all while Congress is nearing a partial government shutdown on March 22nd.
What is the GGRF: Communities urgently need climate solutions, but too often they don’t have a way to pay for them — especially in low-income communities and communities of color which are most impacted. That's where the GGRF comes in: it increases access to financing for clean energy projects, empowering communities to decide what solutions they need, fund green projects, and create good-paying green jobs.
Why is this Important: Solving the climate crisis will take trillions of dollars, and while the $369 billion IRA is a solid start, we still have a long way to go. The GGRF will transform the initial $27 billion government grant into over $250 billion combined public and private investment over the next 10 years. This is a financially smart way to create more green jobs and build a booming green economy, all while protecting our most vulnerable communities from pollution and narrowing the Black and Brown wealth gap.
What’s at risk: Losing the GGRF means forfeiting a historic opportunity to create environmental and economic benefits for communities across the U.S. We can't let this happen!
Lend Your Voice to Protect Our Planet!
How you can help: Next week, Dream.Org staff, community leaders, and members like you will be meeting with elected officials in Washington, D.C. We want to deliver thousands of signatures to offices demonstrating that we want funding for our communities, not polluters.
Take action NOW! Please urge Congress not to overlook these benefits and to safeguard the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund before it's too late.
Your voice matters, and we’re thankful for your unwavering support in this crucial moment.
In solidarity,
— Dream.Org
