SEEC PAC members are leading the charge by publishing a letter signed by more than 130 members of Congress demanding that serious climate action be included in the package.
John,
Right now Congress’s primary focus is passing an infrastructure package. But the effort to rebuild our crumbling infrastructure is also a once-in-a-generation opportunity to pass planet-saving climate policies that ensure we build back better for the long-term while creating jobs and economic security in the short term. As we rebuild our nation’s crumbling roads and bridges, we must do so in an environmentally-just and thoughtful way. These projects will last generations, so the decisions we make today will have HUGE impacts on the economy and the environment for years to come.
That’s why SEEC PAC members are leading the charge by publishing a letter signed by more than 130 members of Congress demanding that serious climate action be included in the package. The signees come from a range of political ideologies, which shows just how much progress we’ve made making the case that climate change is a defining challenge of our time.
Some of our demands are common sense measures, but still priorities that must be passed into law as soon as possible, including:
Leading the United States towards a 100 percent carbon-free energy-powered electricity grid, along with new cars, buses, and buildings by 2035.
Improving our country's water supply and infrastructure so every American has access to clean water.
Supporting the creation of millions of high-quality, well-paying, union jobs in emerging clean energy sectors across the country.
Restoring access to healthy public lands and working with nature to reduce carbon emissions.
Centering people with low incomes and communities of color in present and future reforms who have been disproportionately harmed by pollution.
These priorities are just some of the measures that should and must be included in the infrastructure package, and we won’t back down to fossil fuel interests who oppose us at every turn.
This is our chance to save our planet for generations to come, and we won’t stop until we pass environmental protections and green investments in our country’s future into law.
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.
