Yesterday was a big day for the Democratic party,
John.

Joe Biden announced that Kamala Harris will be his official running mate.
And we’re just 5 days away from the Democratic National Convention in
Milwaukee.

But while most people are focused on the Vice Presidential news, there’s
still a lot of work to be done before Monday to secure the climate
policies that we need in the DNC platform. 

Biden and Harris have both released climate plans that are bolder than
that of any Presidential nominee in history, particularly when it comes to
holding the fossil fuel industry accountable for their role in the climate
crisis.

This is an important testament to our power as a movement, and we cannot
let the DNC's weak platform water down our progress. It’s up to us to make
sure that the next administration and the DNC align around strong policies
that end fossil fuels and build a Green New Deal.

Time is running out so we’re asking again. [ [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?

After thousands of you sent in petitions earlier this month, we won some
important improvements to the 2020 party platform (which had previously
only mentioned fossil fuels once). Those wins included a commitment to a
1.5°C warming target, banning fossil fuels on public lands, and ending
fossil fuels subsidies. 

But none of these measures are a commitment to keep fossil fuels in the
ground and only bring the platform to where it was in 2016 – and nowhere
close to the mainstream of the party. Nothing in this current platform
takes on the fossil fuel industry and there is no plan to justly and
equitably wind down fossil fuel extraction in line with science.

To be honest with you, John, the
fossil fuel industry isn’t threatened by this platform. Without a ban on
fracking or a plan to phase out fossil fuels, they will continue to
pollute communities and ruin the climate without consequence. 

We will have our work cut out for us to hold Biden's administration
accountable to his promises for bold and urgent climate action in 2021,
and we need the DNC to be our allies, not our opposition. We have from now
until the Convention this Monday to put as much pressure as possible on
the DNC to 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] ]With your help, the climate movement can push the Democratic Party to
stand for climate justice. Add your name to our petition now.

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. 

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.
