Friend — the Congressional GOP has introduced an alternative stripped-down infrastructure plan to counter the Biden administration's American Jobs Plan.

The GOP plan has no mention of clean energy, climate, or environmental justice — we MUST make this plan dead on arrival because it's just another handout to corporate polluters. If the GOP plan gains ANY traction in a 50-50 Senate or closely divided House, we could lose this once-in-a-lifetime chance for transformative action addressing the climate crisis.

We're moving into a critical period for negotiations — so today we need to make our voices heard and let our representatives know we stand for a full recovery plan with big investments centering climate, jobs and justice. Will you join our Day of Action now?

You can contact your representative by texting RECOVERY to 877-877 — you'll be patched through to your representative and can go through the talking points below.

It really does make a difference to call in to your Congressional office today. Here's some key points to reference once you're connected:

TALKING POINTS:

• It's time for Congress to pass the full American Jobs Plan —the plan that centers climate, clean energy jobs, and justice and has the backing of labor unions, environmental justice leaders, businesses, and local leaders from across the country.
• The infrastructure proposals we've seen from Congressional Republicans fall unacceptably short of what voters in the deepest red to the brightest blue congressional districts are calling for — big investments to create good-paying jobs in the clean energy economy while tackling climate change and environmental justice.
• The current version of the American Jobs Plan is widely supported by voters and will be essential to getting millions of people back to work in new good-paying jobs in the clean energy economy.
• We are already paying a high price for pollution and climate change, and, if we fail to act, the price will get higher and higher. Please, vote to pass the full American Jobs Plan as soon as possible, so our communities can recover and prosper!

Environmental champions in the House, Senate, and White House are leading the fight for a bold and ambitious bill that goes far beyond roads and bridges — and instead charts us on a course to a clean energy future. But Congressional margins are tight, and we're going to need every single vote.

The best thing you can do today is to contact your representative. You'll be fighting back against misinformation and lies planted by Big Polluters and their anti-environment allies, and confirming what polling shows — the American Jobs Plan really does have the will of the people behind it.

We must do everything we can right now as Congress starts this critical phase of negotiations. Please, contact your representative now by texting RECOVERY to 877-877 — it'll take just a minute.

The most important thing you can do today for action on clean energy, the climate crisis, and a stronger and more equitable economy is contacting your representative today — thank you for joining our day of action!
