John,

The climate crisis has reached a tipping point. The summer of 2023 shattered heat records, unleashing a wave of catastrophic wildfires, storms, and floods that claimed lives worldwide.

Now, climate scientists warn that 2024 will be even worse, with extreme weather events costing the United States over $1 trillion and threatening everything from our health to food security. Climate change is not a distant threat, it is a clear and present danger that demands immediate action.

While President Biden and Congress have taken some steps in the right direction, such as passing the Inflation Reduction Act, these measures alone are not enough to address the scale and urgency of the crisis. We need bold, comprehensive action.

With the Biden Administration considering declaring a climate emergency, we must raise our voices and demand that they take this necessary step to address the most pressing issue of our time.

Help combat the devastating impacts of climate change. Sign the petition to President Biden: Declare a climate emergency now.

Declaring a climate emergency under the National Emergencies Act would give President Biden the power to take decisive steps to combat the climate crisis head-on.

This includes reinstating the crude oil export ban to keep fossil fuels in the ground, halting new fossil fuel projects that threaten our communities and environment, redirecting disaster relief funds to accelerate the transition to renewable energy, and fast-tracking the generation of clean power nationwide.

These actions would not only reduce carbon emissions but also create much-needed union jobs and promote a just transition to a sustainable economy.

Every day that we delay action, we come closer to a point of no return. The devastating impacts of climate change are already being felt by people across the world, and they are demanding that their leaders step up and take responsibility.

Join us in demanding that President Biden declare a climate emergency and use every tool at his disposal to fight for our planet's future.

Together, we can create a powerful movement that will force our leaders to confront the climate crisis head-on.
