We need President Biden to take federal action on climate now.
John,
The United States is a top contributor to fossil fuel production, subsequently marking the nation as one of the core drivers of the ongoing climate emergency.1
The climate crisis is a Code Red emergency, and we need leaders to take serious action now. This is why we’re demanding President Biden use his power to:
- Declare climate change as a national emergency under the National Emergencies Act (NEA) and advance the end of the fossil fuel era.
- Declare climate change as a national emergency under the Stafford Act and re-imagine FEMA to be an engine of the just and equitable energy transition.
- Redirect all agency funds towards renewable energy and away from fossil fuels to build back fossil-free in impacted communities.
- Establish high labor standards to protect workers against extreme heat, wildfire smoke, and other climate emergencies through strong Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations.
With your support right now, we can fully fund our outreach plans to urge President Biden to declare a climate emergency. So John, will you make a contribution right now to support this work?

The past four years of Biden’s presidency have shown that fossil fuel corporations and their lobbyists can and will hold back vital legislation to fight the climate crisis. President Biden has the power to make a lot of progress in this fight with just one stroke of a pen — and that’s why we need your help to apply pressure on Biden to follow through with his campaign promises.
Instead of wasting the dollars of taxpayers and utility ratepayers on outdated and costly fossil fuels, we must invest trillions of dollars in renewable energy and transportation, green union jobs, and climate justice. The renewable energy transition must be grounded in justice including the Free, Prior, and Informed Consent of Indigenous Peoples to redress the climate, racial, socioeconomic, and ecological injustices of the fossil fuel era.
The climate crisis is already here and getting worse right before our eyes. We’re urging President Biden to declare a climate emergency before it’s too late. If you’re ready to fight with us, please make a contribution right now to support this work. He needs to do right by our communities and we need your support to ramp up the movement.
