Dear John, As of Friday, September 24th, over 300 American businesses signed on to our campaign in support of President Biden’s Build Back Better plan (see our media release), which combines concrete actions to mitigate against climate change and rebuild our economy with the means to pay for those actions. Thank you to all our businesses and Associations that have signed on so far! 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! | |
Sadly, 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 advertising and lobbying to block this plan. That’s why the American Sustainable Business Council, Social Venture Circle, Ceres, Amiba and other business organizations 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. With committee work done, the House could begin voting as soon as later this week. 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 300 businesses have signed on to this campaign. Please join them NOW! | |
