Friend,

Pop quiz: What's the most climate-polluting sector of the U.S. economy?

If you guessed transportation, you're right. And the biggest climate-polluter within transportation? Light-duty vehicles, like passenger cars and trucks.

If we can transition to clean cars (aka electric vehicles), we can seriously bring carbon pollution down.

So how do we get there? Simple: We have to tell our senators that we support ambitious investments in clean cars and that they should, too.

Will you call your senators today to demand clean car investments in the upcoming reconciliation package? We've got a whole script if you need it. And remember: It's your senator's job to listen to you!

Evergreen recently published a whole memo on why the Senate must include clean car investments (including incentives for consumers like you and me) in the upcoming reconciliation bill. (If you want to get into the nitty-gritty details, you can read it in full here.)

Here’s the gist: If more Americans drive clean cars…

• We’ll bring down U.S. carbon pollution.
• Other toxic air pollution will go down, especially in frontline communities that are hit first and worst.
• Millions of Americans will have opportunities to work in new, good-paying manufacturing jobs.
• You won’t be reliant on the gas pump!

Congress can and must include clean car investments in their reconciliation bill. Our new paper makes the case for it. Now, we need you to make the case for it alongside us with a quick call to your senators.

There’s a good chance the people representing you in Congress don’t know where you stand on this, so take two minutes to tell them right now. Call your senators to demand investments in clean cars in the upcoming reconciliation package.

Thanks for raising your voice with us!
