Dear John, Everywhere, American businesses and communities are threatened, whether we are underwater in New Jersey or New Orleans, burning in the West or experiencing weather disasters destroying Midwest and Southern farms. The reality of climate change is an existential threat, not sometime in the future, but TODAY! President Biden’s Build Back Better plan combines concrete actions to mitigate against climate change and rebuild our economy with the means to pay for those actions. But many of those who helped create this climate crisis, like the fossil fuel industry, and even some who claim to be concerned about climate change, are spending millions lobbying to block this plan. That’s why the American Sustainable Business Council and Social Venture Circle launched this campaign to show our support for both the investments and the means to pay for them! | |
This may be our last moment to reverse the worst consequences. We can’t afford to wait, and we can’t afford half measures. The House Ways and Means Committee reconvenes tomorrow and will begin considering revenue measures to pay for investments to combat climate change, expand job training and Medicare and establish a permanent, national paid family and medical leave program. As responsible businesses, it is essential that we stand up, speak out and endorse both the investments against climate change and rebuilding our economy, along with the revenue measures needed to pay for those investments. Over 120 businesses signed on in just the first few hours of this campaign. Please join them NOW! | |
Sign on to support paying for the necessary investments in Build Back Better. It is necessary for the future and longevity of our planet! | |
