This is our chance

Hi—

It's time to hold fossil fuel companies accountable.

If you've lived through this summer of record heat waves, droughts, and floods, then you know that the impacts of climate change are getting worse.

So here's a simple idea: The corporations most responsible for climate change should pay to address those climate impacts.

Thankfully, that's just what a new groundbreaking bill in Congress aims to do. Will you add your name in support of this commonsense legislation today?

TAKE ACTION

Just today, Senator Chris Van Hollen and Congressman Jerry Nadler introduced the Polluters Pay Climate Fund Act, which would require top-polluting fossil fuel companies to pay $1 trillion (with a "t") to a fund dedicated to addressing the impacts of climate change while building a better future.

This bill would #MakePollutersPay for things like:

Rebuilding and upgrading infrastructure

Cleaning up pollution in frontline communities

Providing climate-related disaster assistance

Prioritizing at least 40% of investments for environmental justice communities

For over 60 years, fossil fuel companies have known that their business practices are harming our climate and putting all of us in danger, but they lobbied to protect their profits and stall climate action.

It's past time for Big Polluters to pay their fair share.

It's time for them to stop leaving it to local governments to pay for addressing the problems that they created.

There's no time to waste. You can help now by telling Congress to support the Polluters Pay Climate Fund.

MAKE POLLUTERS PAY

Thanks for all you do,
