We see it all around us—unchecked corporate greed is causing ever-worsening inequality and climate change. While Trump fills his administration with unqualified politicians and billionaires committed to do industry's bidding, everyday people are going to pay the price. But it doesn't have to be this way. That's why thousands of us are gathering in DC and in 290 cities across the nation two days before Trump's inauguration to send a clear message: true power comes from the people. We will not back down in our resistance to attacks on justice, democracy, fundamental rights, and a livable planet.

Over the past week, the Biden Administration has made a number of important moves to shore up policies to protect our environment, promote clean energy, and conserve public lands for future generations. This is your hard work paying off—tens of thousands of advocates like you have been pushing for many of these policies for years! As the end of his term nears, join us in thanking President Biden and urging him to do everything he can to secure his environmental legacy.

While Los Angeles is burning, Republicans in Congress are trying to cut funding for the clean energy programs intended to fight climate change so that corporations can make more profit. This is unconscionable. But these programs are popular across blue and red states and we have a real shot at stopping this—if enough of us speak up. Your representative needs to hear from you that we don't want them to raise energy taxes, kill local jobs, and make climate change worse.

Tell Congress to protect climate action and clean energy programs.
