In case you missed it, last month more than 12,000 of you signed up to join our first Climate Action Hour! Together, we learned how to make effective phone calls to our members of Congress and posted on their social media pages to defend crucial climate and clean energy policies. Thanks to you, we made over 4,000 phone calls to Congress and shared hundreds of social media comments.
This month, we'll continue to focus on urging our federal representatives to protect the Inflation Reduction Act – the landmark climate and clean energy law that's under attack by Trump and his friends in Congress. We're focusing on this critical issue because we have a real shot at protecting many of these policies from being repealed or rolled back. These programs are extremely popular in both blue, red and purple states, and many Republican members of Congress have already signaled their support. We can win this!
If you haven't been keeping up with the news or feel like you don't know enough, that's okay! We'll start the Action Hour with a briefing from Sierra Club experts to hear the latest updates on what's happening in Washington and beyond, and then guide you through the actions during the meeting.
For February's Action Hour we're going to write Letters to the Editor of local newspapers together – one of the most effective tactics for influencing local elected officials – and make calls (yes, again!) to our members of Congress. We'll walk you through both actions step by step, providing sample messaging that you can adapt to make the most effective case to your elected representative, and give you access to an online tool that makes submitting Letters to the Editor quick and easy.
We've already seen calls to Congress increase by 3,900% since the beginning of the Trump Administration. More and more people are figuring out ways to engage. Join us for the next Climate Action Hour – it's a great way for you to take focused, effective action in just one hour each month alongside thousands of other concerned, overwhelmed, dedicated advocates.
