Because of the incredible pressure from Sierra Club and our broader movement, the Biden Administration is investing $370 billion in climate action, clean energy jobs, and wildlife protection.

But right-wing members of Congress are trying to stop everyday people and our communities from benefiting from this unprecedented climate funding.

Tell Congress: Protect us from climate disasters by protecting clean energy investments

Dear Friend,
After years of grassroots-led organizing, President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law, which allotted $370 billion to climate programs that will cut pollution, create new jobs and build resilience for our communities against the growing impacts of the climate crisis. 

These investments put dollars directly in the hands of states, cities, towns, and even everyday individuals.

⚡ President Biden's clean energy plan provides:

Tax rebates and discounts for low-income and middle-income families to electrify their homes. 
Cities and states with funds for much needed energy efficiency retrofits.
Grants for schools to electrify their bus fleets. 
Loans for rural co-ops to adapt cleaner, cheaper sources of power

But this effort is under threat from big polluters and the politicians in their pockets. Republicans are trying to DEFUND these critical investments just when they're getting started. Our communities can't afford that. Our climate can't afford it either. 

Tell Congress: stand up to fossil fuel polluters and protect our clean energy investments!

Collectively, these investments will put the U.S. on a path to cutting climate pollution 40% by 2030 while creating 9 million family-sustaining jobs over the next decade and advancing racial, economic, and environmental justice.

With extreme weather events like heat waves, floods, hurricanes, and wildfires we are feeling the effects of the climate crisis every day. Our voices and actions are needed to make sure this ambitious vision becomes concrete change. Tell Congress: Do NOT cut funding to President Biden's clean energy programs!

Thank you for all that you do.
From Sierra Club
