We're asking: pitch in. This is the biggest grassroots campaign, to pass the most important climate legislation in a generation. Now is the moment ? [link removed]
Our campaign is working. We're hearing from Members of Congress who are being inundated with messages from grassroots activists. They're seeing pro-environment lawn signs in their home districts, ads across multiple platforms ? they're seeing support everywhere for action on climate now.
But, bottom line: we can't keep this up without your help. And, if you donate $25 or more, you'll also receive an invite to our exclusive Climate Action Watch Party!
On Wednesday, September 22, 2021 we are bringing our community of thousands of members together to hear from climate champions from across the movement and get plugged into our plan to win this vote.
