Friend,
America isn't just choosing a president right now. It's choosing a future.
This election has presented the American people with a clear choice between perpetuating the unjust fossil fuel economy of our past or launching an all-out national mobilization to create millions of good-paying union jobs and realizing a clean-energy future.
While voters continue to cast ballots and we wait (patiently, of course) for the outcome, read and then share our post on why the 2020 election will go down in history as a climate election.
This election has been defined by the climate crisis. Not just the threats, of which there are many, but the opportunities as well.
After winning the Democratic nomination, Joe Biden released the most ambitious climate plan ever put forth by a major party nominee. The plan -- which incorporated key elements of the Inslee, Warren, and Sanders plans -- was touted throughout the campaign in speeches across the country, on the debate stage, and in the first ever general election climate ad to run on TV.
Joe Biden has made it clear that, under a Biden administration, investments in a clean-energy economy would be central to America's economic recovery and our ability to avoid the worst outcomes of the climate crisis.
More than 80% of Democrats and more than half of Independents consistently rank government action on climate as a top priority, and two-thirds of registered voters say they support the Biden-Harris plan.
After four years of a climate change-denying, fossil fuel-boosting federal administration, America is calling out for bold climate action.
Whatever the outcome, this will forever be remembered as a climate election. Read Evergreen's post today for a look back on where we've been as we imagine what's to come -- and then share with your friends and family.
Support for bold climate action has never been higher. We are eager to see which future the American people choose.
Thank you,
