Friend,

Our children are breathing in toxic air on their way to school. Our nation's school buses — which are primarily outdated dirty diesel vehicles — are putting schoolchildren at risk of respiratory illnesses. That's 25 million children who are unnecessarily exposed to air pollution just because they need a ride to school. The time to electrify school buses is NOW!

That's why we launched a petition to tell the Biden-Harris Administration to prioritize the electrification of our nation's school bus fleet in his #AmericanJobsPlan. Both President Biden and Vice President Harris visited electric school bus factories just last month, so we know that with pressure from our communities, we can have a real impact.
 
We lead the Electric School Bus Coalition to make sure our comunidad is prioritized instead of forgotten in the fight for clean buses for healthy niños. We need supporters, like *YOU*, to help us urge the Biden-Harris Administration to invest $25 billion over ten years to jumpstart the electrification of half of all school buses in the United States.

Add your name to the petition to join thousands of people fighting for clean transportation for communities who need it most »

BIPOC and Latinx communities already bear the biggest burdens of climate change, and disproportionately live in areas with higher levels of air pollution. We need to protect our children and Madre Tierra to ensure sustainability for generations to come.
