Every day, we're seeing the impacts of climate change: extreme weather, dangerous superstorms, sea-level rise, flooding and drought. On top of that, Trump is increasing oil and gas extraction and has filled his administration with climate change deniers.
But communities are fighting back.
Through our Off Fossil Fuels campaign we're working alongside activists and allies to cultivate climate champions in government, ban fracking, keep fossil fuels in the ground, stop dangerous pipelines and transition to 100% clean, renewable energy by 2035.
Together we've worked with Representative Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) to introduce the Off Fossil Fuels for a Better Future Act, the most aggressive piece of climate legislation ever introduced in Congress. We've introduced similar bills in Maryland, New York, New Jersey, Virginia and Colorado. This is all thanks to our organizers, grassroots partners and volunteers supporting this work (many right from their homes!).
We know that burning fossil fuels contributes to climate change, and warming weather will have global impacts on society, especially when it comes to accessing safe food and clean water — both are essential to our survival.
Low-income communities, communities of color, indigenous communities and immigrants are already being hit the hardest, and unless we take action now, the impacts on all people and the planet will be devastating. Climate change isn't just an environmental issue: it's a social justice issue.
We need people like you who are committed to this movement and ready to try something different.
