Friends, As a professor of environmental policy, I know all too well how much work it will take to address climate change and its devastating impact on our communities. Right here in Colorado, we've experienced climate change-induced wildfires that have devastated over a million acres of land in recent years, contributed to climate change, and added to air and water quality problems. We need to protect our public lands for generations to come. And we're still in the midst of a pandemic that disproportionately affects communities of color that experience chronic health inequities and poorer air quality. We need to take bold steps to mitigate the impacts of climate change and prevent the worst-case climate predictions, and I'm proud that Jason is helping to lead the way in Congress on this issue. With Earth Day coming up later this week, will you join Jason in recommitting to protect our planet? Sign on today >> Jason knows that the climate crisis is one of the greatest challenges facing this nation and our world right now. It's an existential threat for humanity and our planet. It is also an opportunity to create good-paying jobs and build a more sustainable future. That's why he introduced the Outdoor Restoration Partnership Act with Senator Bennet this week. This bipartisan legislation was included in President Biden's American Jobs Plan. And if enacted, it will make critical investments in our forests and watersheds to prevent wildfires and droughts and create two million jobs. This work is critical, and it won't get done without your help, friend. Before Earth Day, sign on to join Jason by adding your name to the petition now. Thank you, Deserai |
