Dear John,

Come celebrate and learn:

Join McKibben, Van Hollen, Jimenez, and CCAN Action Fund 11/9 at 7:00pm!

Joe Biden won! Donald Trump lost! We have a declared victor.

So go ahead and exhale. We can celebrate! The political victory isn’t complete,
of course. We still have a chance to win the US Senate (thank you Georgia
runoffs!). But HOLY COW we already won the biggest prize. The “climate arsonist”
Donald Trump is toast.

Another four years of Trump would have wrecked our global atmosphere — period.
Now our next President, Joe Biden, can quickly rejoin the Paris Climate
Agreement, rebuild the US EPA, and bring science and facts back to policy. Like
Obama, Biden can take executive actions to lower carbon emissions nationwide
while giving federal support to specific state initiatives everywhere from
California to Virginia.

On November 9 at 7:00 pm EST: Celebrate the win and discuss next steps with Bill
McKibben, US Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), and Andres Jimenez of Green 2.0.
We at CCAN Action Fund will be your host. We’ll cover strategies for winning the
US Senate in Georgia and moving ahead with new federal and state policies under
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

On Tuesday, election night, things were agonizing. Then momentum swung our way
as the week went on and we still might win the US Senate after the Georgia
runoff elections on January 5th. But in the meantime, how could 70 million
people vote for a climate-denying, racist, lying incumbent President? We have
more work to do.

Conversely, 73.5 million people DID vote for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, the
most ever for a presidential ticket. And the climate platform they ran on is
amazing. It includes 100 percent clean electricity nationwide by 2035 with net
zero emissions by 2050. And it puts equity for disadvantaged communities at the
center of all climate policies.

Now, with time running out on climate change, we need to help our friends in
Georgia elect two Democratic Senate candidates to give Democrats control of
Congress. On Monday night, US Senator Chris Van Hollen will offer insights and
updates on how a national effort will likely unfold to help those candidates and
thus help us pass the Biden Climate plan in 2021.

Learn about what’s next for federal and state climate policies in the post-Trump
era on Monday night, November 9. Join us on Zoom with Bill McKibben, US Senator
Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), and Andres Jimenez of Green 2.0.

Meanwhile, as a backup, progressive states from the East Coast to the West Coast
and everywhere in between must be prepared to pass as much of the Biden climate
agenda as possible at the local level, with huge help from a supportive White
House. We'll be joined by CCAN Action Fund’s Maryland and Virginia directors,
Jamie DeMarco and Kim Jemaine, to talk about that. Also, legendary climate
activist and 350.org founder Bill McKibben, and Andres Jimenez of Green 2.0,
will explain how national and state policies must be meet this moment in history
byachieving maximum ambition with deep commitments to environmental justice.

Time is almost up for a swift and transformative clean-energy revolution.

But here’s what gives me hope. In the middle of a pandemic, with a hate-spewing
President explicitly trying to push disruptive chaos into the process, our
country at every level and in every state has conducted an incredibly smooth and
fair election with record turnout.

So yes, despite four years of Trump, Americans can still come together to do
great things against long odds for the common good. We did it this week by
preserving our democracy.

Now let’s do it for the climate. Join our Zoom call Monday night.
