“Stop blocking corporate climate progress”
[Image alt text: As You Sow® banner with logo, image of mountains and a lake, and text saying: The nation’s leading non-profit shareholder advocate, with a 30+ year track record of changing corporations for good] < [link removed] > Dear John,
In January As You Sow’s President and Chief Counsel, Danielle Fugere (named one of TIME’s 100 most influential climate leaders driving business climate action) answered questions in DC for the House Judiciary Committee, for nearly eight hours. As You Sow’s CEO, Andrew Behar, is headed to DC this week, as the Committee continues to “investigate” As You Sow for potential antitrust violations – for asking companies to reduce their carbon pollution.
Our friends at Green America launched an online letter-writing campaign telling Congress to stop trying to block corporate progress on climate and stand with As You Sow.
Will you join the action? < [link removed] >
The letter to Congress will also act as a petition that Andy will present in person next week. We’re up to 20,864 letters – the more letters and signatures, the stronger the message to Congress that the Judiciary Committee does NOT speak for all Americans when it claims that asking a company to reduce carbon pollution infringes on the freedom of all Americans.
Take a look < [link removed] > – we’d love to add your letter to the total.
And it matters. While the House Judiciary Committee is flinging anti-trust allegations and protecting the fossil fuel industry, climate-induced superstorms and wildfires are wiping out homes and making insurance unaffordable. Extreme heat, floods, and droughts are reducing harvests of wheat, sugar, coffee, cacao, and cotton, leading to increased prices for all Americans.
It’s just wrong.
It’s also a testament to how effective As You Sow’s work with corporations really is.
We cannot allow the far right to derail climate progress. Will you tell Congress? < [link removed] >
Yours for a sustainable future, [Image alt text: Photo of Sarah Milne] [Image alt text: Signature: Sarah Milne] Sarah Milne
