John,
Senate Democrats just announced that they plan to spend $3.5 trillion on the second, “better” infrastructure package — the one we’re counting on to deliver huge climate investments that match the scale of this crisis.
But we know — and science supports — the need for a much, much bigger investment than this. That’s why we’ve been pushing Congress to invest $10 trillion over the next decade to create good jobs and curb the climate crisis. And it’s why we’re going to keep demanding they fight for more money.
And with Congress’ summer vacation fast approaching, we don’t think they should go home until they do their jobs and pass this bill.
Sunrisers are coming together for a Day of Action this Thursday, July 15 to make sure Congress follows through and delivers us big, bold climate investments. Will you attend a Sunrise event near you or join us virtually on Thursday?
Communities across America are already bracing for and suffering through the impacts of the climate crisis. It’s clear that we need bold action, and we need it now.
For the past few months, Sunrisers all over the country have been bringing the heat to Biden and Congress to get them to pass this first part of the Green New Deal. We’ve rallied, made calls, and even gotten arrested outside the White House.
Now, we’re counting on people like you to help us get this over the finish line and make sure Congress does their job. Click here to learn more and find a Day of Action event near you.
See you on Thursday,
Lauren, Sunrise
