	THOUSANDS OF JOBS ARE AT STAKE After a year of economic turmoil, we have the chance to build back the middle class with a massive recovery plan that creates good-paying jobs around the country. President Biden has outlined a plan to invest in clean energy and green infrastructure while putting thousands of people back to work. As pandemic-related unemployment benefits end, this plan is critical to jumpstarting the economy. Friend, if we lose clean energy jobs, we lose years of progress toward solving the climate crisis. An alarming report from the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) this week underlined what's at risk if we do nothing to reduce our carbon emissions and move away from oil and gas: Billions of lives. Now is the time to sound the alarm. We need the entire grassroots movement to show up — and show up big, to counteract the fossil fuel industry. Otherwise, we risk more fires, floods, and heatwaves devastating and uprooting our communities. Tell Congress that we need high-paying jobs in clean energy and climate justice to stir our economy, get thousands of people back to work, and save future generations »

Friend, in poll after poll, President Biden's plan to tackle the climate crisis, invest in green infrastructure and technology, and create thousands of new jobs is supported by overwhelming margins. This is the most ambitious climate plan proposed by any American president, ever, and it's clear that the country is hungry for it.

We're talking about a plan to clean up toxic airborne particles in our cities. To deliver lead-free, affordable water to everyone regardless of their income, race, or zip code. To electrify our cars and grid. And to substantially fund, not gloss over, neighborhoods historically on the receiving end of environmental injustices: Low income and minority communities.

President Biden was elected with a clear mandate from the country: To take drastic, urgent action on the climate crisis. He's keeping up his end of the bargain, but now we need Congress to deliver — and the votes are incredibly tight.

We cannot afford to lose a single vote. Urge Congress to pass a budget reconciliation with significant investments in jobs, clean energy, and climate justice »

The IPCC has made it very clear: Governments around the world have not done enough to mitigate their carbon emissions and meet the urgency of climate change. Now is the time to listen to our scientists and revitalize America's infrastructure and economy with green technology.

We're going all in to make sure Congress carries out the biggest, boldest climate package in American history. But we know the oil and gas industry is going to pour everything they have into misinformation campaigns to completely derail any progress in clean, sustainable, renewable energy.

That's why we need 1,000 pro-environment advocates like you to speak up now — because your silence will mean victory for Big Oil.

Will you pressure Congress to fight for a clean energy economy, investments in environmental justice, and thousands of good-paying, unionized jobs?

Thank you for taking action to create new jobs while tackling the climate crisis.
