| Dear Friend, |
| President Biden is assembling a strong team around him ready to take an all-hands-on-deck approach to tackling the climate crisis and advance environmental justice. Last week, the Senate confirmed 35th generation New Mexican Deb Haaland to lead the Department of the Interior, making her the first Native American, and only the third woman, to serve in this role. |
| Secretary Haaland’s nomination and confirmation were powered by her stellar bipartisan record fighting for science, natural stewardship, climate action, tribal sovereignty, and by the widespread popular support behind her. This strong endorsement by the public — including from Earthjustice supporters like you — demanding that the Senate act swiftly to confirm strong climate leaders, is critical to moving our country down a path to a more resilient future. |
| Key agencies responsible for protecting us from pollution now have leaders with strong track records who will uphold their duty to meaningfully address the climate and biodiversity crises and combat environmental injustice. But they’ll never truly succeed unless you help hold them accountable — you and your voice are critical in this effort. Below find more ways to empower our government officials to take the necessary action to protect the people and our planet. |
