Hi John,

The budget bill has moved back to the House after the Senate cut deals and got J.D. Vance to break a deadlocked vote, essentially selling out the environment and putting billions more dollars into the hands of wealthy oil, gas, and mining executives.

This bill will kill wildlife, poison the water we drink, and pollute the air we breathe. It will also destroy jobs and wipe out the necessary and critical transition to clean energy. It guts safety nets for our most vulnerable neighbors. It’s an economic and environmental disaster waiting to happen.

The House is still divided on how to vote. It will only take a few Republicans voting NO to avoid this catastrophic and unprecedented giveaway to the fossil fuel and mining industries.

We need your Member of Congress to hear from you ASAP. Let them know they are risking people's lives - and our future and clean air and water - if they vote yes on this bill.

Contact your Congressperson today. Tell them to vote NO on this disastrous Budget Bill.

If passed, this terrible Budget Bill would:

• Devastate clean energy, wiping out over 1.6 million jobs and eliminating support for solar, wind, and other clean, secure, and stable renewable energy options in homes, transportation, and more.

• Destroy Alaskan wilderness by mandating oil and gas drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, the Cook Inlet, and the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska.

• Expand federal oil and gas leasing by mandating lease sales in the US Gulf of Mexico and quarterly onshore leases from public lands.

• Eliminate the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, which supports communities and companies in financing clean energy projects.

• Eliminate funding in the Methane Emissions Reduction Program, the strongest tool we have for helping companies reduce climate-wrecking methane emissions.

• Strip tax credits for renewables and electric vehicles.

The legislation is a giveaway to billionaires and big oil, gas, and mining corporations, the very industries driving the climate crisis. It’s a wholesale attack on clean energy, frontline communities, and families who will pay the price for their dirty fossil fuels.

Tell them to vote no on the Budget Bill.

We can’t let Congress sacrifice community health, and rig the rules for polluters, all while blowing a multi-trillion-dollar hole in the federal deficit and gutting critical safety net programs.

In solidarity,

Jennifer Krill
Executive Director
