Hey, Julia Louis-Dreyfus here!

I only played a Vice-President-turned-President on TV, but I know the real deal when I see it. And let me tell you: President Biden is our best chance for meaningful climate action.

He's already taken bold steps to address the climate crisis: Last month, he announced the U.S.'s commitment to cutting greenhouse gas emissions in half by the end of the decade, and he will invest a whopping 40% of climate funding into the communities that have been most impacted by climate change — which is exactly where it should go!

But success is far from guaranteed. With razor-thin pro-environment majorities in both chambers of Congress, and fierce resistance from big polluters, our window of opportunity for tackling the climate crisis is narrow.

That's why I'm adding my voice to the chorus of NRDC supporters urging President Biden to move forward with a strong climate action plan before it's too late. Will you add your name?

The last four years were a nightmare for people and the environment. The Trump administration and its polluter pals did everything in their power to put profits above all else — and the low-income communities and communities of color already disproportionately burdened by the climate crisis and pollution have overwhelmingly paid the price. Enough of that!

We need to make up for lost time — not just undoing Trump's dangerous attacks, but also accelerating toward a new era of bold climate action:

... Cutting greenhouse gas pollution in half by 2030? Yes!
... Creating millions of clean energy jobs and investing in underserved communities? Absolutely!
... Supporting the battle for climate justice in communities of color disproportionately impacted by fossil fuel pollution and climate change? No doubt!
... Going big with investments like expanding electric vehicle charging stations, strengthening the grid, and capping and cleaning up millions of abandoned oil and gas wells? For sure!
... Protecting oceans, forests, wetlands, and other natural resources? You got it!

If we're going to avert a climate catastrophe, we need our elected officials to step up and make climate action a top priority — but we all have to do our part to make them feel the heat. That means you.

Tell President Biden to follow through on his promise to take bold climate action!

I'm proud to be one of the millions joining together to call for action on climate change. Together, we can make 2021 the biggest year for climate action in history. Are you with us?

Sincerely,

Julia Louis-Dreyfus
