Friend, I'm floored.

Governor Wolf along with 110 state senators and representatives, mayors, county commissioners, municipal council members, and more are asking Congress to pass an equitable economic recovery package that puts the country on the path to 100% clean energy and creates millions of high quality, good paying union jobs. 

We couldn’t be more proud of these decision makers. THIS is what leadership looks like. 

Now we need to back up these hundreds of powerful voices with thousands more if we’re going to get this done. Friend, please send a message to your members of Congress.

TAKE ACTION

1,266 state and local elected officials across the country — including Governor Wolf and 110 others in Pennsylvania — have come out publicly urging Congressional leaders to pass an economic recovery package that includes the most ambitious action on climate change, ever. 

This is a BIG deal. The American Jobs Plan contains so much of what we've been fighting for: millions of new good-paying jobs. An economy powered by clean energy. A plan to seriously tackle environmental racism.

We applaud Governor Wolf and the PA elected officials (all of them are listed below) for voicing their support of the plan, but this is only the beginning — and we need to act fast. In order to make this once-in-generation opportunity to build back better a reality, Congress needs to move things forward. Votes will be extremely close, and we know that Big Polluters and their allies are going to do whatever it takes to keep us addicted to toxic fossil fuels.

That's why it's critical that Pennsylvanians like you show up in force right now by standing with our elected officials who are demanding investments at the scale and scope necessary to address the compounding challenges we face. Will you sign on now and fight for clean energy jobs for every community?

An ambitious economic recovery package to build back better could help us achieve the future we envision for our communities, and it must center low-income communities and communities of color that have been hardest hit by the climate crisis and toxic pollution. With enough investment from Congress, we can:

  • Put the U.S. on the path to 100% clean energy powering everything from our electricity grid, transportation, and buildings with reliable, affordable clean energy. 
  • Promote justice by ensuring at least 40% of benefits go to the communities who need it most, prioritizing just and equitable solutions being led by Black, Brown, and low-income communities.
  • Incentivize millions of high-quality, good paying union jobs, especially in the domestic clean energy and manufacturing sectors, while supporting communities that have relied on oil, gas, and coal jobs.

Our communities have already paid a high price for pollution and climate change. From higher rates of asthma and upper respiratory disease to flooding and deadly wildfires, we know first-hand the cost of inaction — and we cannot delay any longer. Our neighbors need help to get back on their feet, and we need to address the climate crisis that’s threatening our lives and our communities. 

This is an unprecedented moment, but our margins in Congress are extremely narrow, and we're facing an onslaught of Big Oil propaganda and false claims about the recovery package.

Join elected officials across the state and tell your members of Congress that NOW is the time to invest in clean energy, justice, and jobs >>

Chances like this to change our country and our world don't come around often, friend. Thank you for adding your voice today.
