[1]350 Action

John,

An early draft of the 2020 Democratic party platform just leaked to the
press – and it only mentions the words “fossil fuels” once.

A climate policy that doesn’t address the biggest cause of the crisis
– burning fossil fuels – isn’t a plan at all and is a major step backwards
from the party platform in 2016. We won’t allow it. 

We have from now until the Democratic Convention in Milwaukee next month
to put as much pressure as possible on the DNC to step up and do what's
right for the climate. If enough climate voters speak out, we can demand
that keeping fossil fuels in the ground be included. 

[ [link removed] ]Will you sign our petition right now to the DNC members demanding that
a phase-out of fossil fuel production be included in the 2020 climate
platform?

While Joe Biden’s climate plans ban new fossil fuel leases on public
lands, end subsidies for the industry, and apply a ‘climate test’ for
fossil fuel infrastructure – the DNC’s draft platform includes nothing
about stopping dirty energy expansion or phasing out existing fossil fuel
production.  

Even the 2016 platform called for phasing out extraction of fossil fuels
on public lands and halting fracking in localities that oppose it. This
2020 draft is a step backward for the climate, and it will cost the party
the votes it needs to defeat Trump. 

Without ambitious proposals from the Democratic Party, not only will we
fall short in the climate action we need, there's a risk that not enough
people will show up to stop the rising wave of Trump’s anti-science,
racist, and authoritarian agenda. The polls show that climate is one of
the strongest ways to move voters away from Trump and increases motivation
to vote.^1 

The stakes this November are too high: the Democratic Party needs to
answer Trump's climate denial with a call for serious action for climate
justice. 

[ [link removed] ]With your help, the climate movement can turn the tide against the
fossil fuel industry and demand that the Democratic Party stand for
climate justice. Add your name to our petition now.

In this historic moment, we need solutions to the climate crisis that
advance justice for workers and communities confronted daily with systemic
racism and toxic pollution – not watered-down policies that take us
backwards and deny climate science.

Thank you for speaking out.
