Just this week, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released a new scientific report that makes clear what we'll face if we fail to meet this moment: Hotter temperatures. Rising seas. More severe storms, more often. And untold loss of life through it all. The UN called it "code red for humanity."
But we can choose a different future. One that's run on clean electricity. That sets people on the path to new careers through the Civilian Climate Corps. Where environmental injustice is a thing of the past.
This budget reconciliation package is our big chance to lay the foundation for the future we've been fighting for. Another opportunity like this will not come again until it is already too late to stave off the worst impacts of climate change.
This new budget blueprint is the latest sign that our advocacy is paying off. Thank you for getting us this far and continuing to raise your voice for these righteous investments.
