Dear John,

Allow me to take a moment to recognize the suffering and loss too many are experiencing due to the wildfires ravaging the West Coast. The devastation goes beyond property damage and irreparable harm to our environment: people are losing their lives and millions are forced to breathe in some of the unhealthiest and most dangerous air in the world right now. Our prayers and our thoughts are with them all. 

But this moment is also a call to action, and to fight for progress on what many are finally realizing is the last call for mitigating the worst outcomes of our current off-the-charts levels of greenhouse gas emissions. It doesn’t have to be this way; and we don’t need to sacrifice a strong economy for a cleaner, greener world. We can have both with a massive jobs plan that stimulates the economy and transforms it to a clean energy-powered economy. 

So that is why today I am asking if you can help fuel my fight against fossil-fuel industry darling Ken Buck—who has taken over $464,000 in campaign cash from Big Oil and Gas industries—and help elect a Green New Deal fighter to Congress:

You are also cordially invited to attend our event this Thursday, “Be Aware, Climate Care: A discussion on Climate Change” featuring Andrew Romanoff and Diana Bray as guest speakers. It is going to take all of us coming together to elect real environmental leaders and promoting bold solutions if we are going to tackle this crisis. Please join us if you can.

Respectfully, 

Ike McCorkle
