We can see the power of people mobilizing around action on climate change, and the next domino to fall has to be in Congress.
This week, the developers of the Keystone XL oil pipeline abandoned the project.
For a decade, frontline communities and environmental advocates fought the project because of its threat to vital water resources and the stability of our climate. Developers had said resolutely that it would be built, but this week the community organizers, Indigenous leaders, and environmental advocates achieved a monumental victory.
On top of this, just last month we saw a judge tell Shell Oil that they must reduce emissions 45% by 2030, and Exxon shareholders made a historic vote against company management and unseated multiple board members in an effort to force the company to reckon with its climate impacts.
The dominos are starting to fall. We can see the power of people mobilizing around action on climate change, and the next domino to fall has to be in Congress.
It is no exaggeration to say that the coming weeks will be make or break for the passage of climate policies in Congress. After a decade of blocked attempts to pass just, planet-saving climate policy, we must finally succeed now.
Thanks to your help in 2020, SEEC PAC was able to re-elect over 95% of our pro-environment members to the U.S. House of Representatives — defying the odds on a night where Democrats lost seats. Now we are counting on you to help our SEEC members pass climate, clean energy and environmental justice policies in the 117th Congress while we undo the damage of the Trump Administration.
