Dear John, 

We’ve had a summer of uncontrollable wildfires, cataclysmic hurricanes, and extreme heat. It’s clear that we’re getting closer to this being our new daily reality, unless Congress takes bold action now.

In Congress this week, the Build Back Better Act advanced out of House committees with key investments in solving the climate crisis. It’s now headed to the Senate and White House for review. This is our shot to make bold investments in clean, good paying jobs, and environmental justice.

Reconciliation gives Congress one of the best opportunities to build a more equitable, just, and inclusive clean energy economy, and we need your help in demanding that your elected leaders prioritize bold climate action in reconciliation.

But we need your support in ensuring climate change solutions remain in the proposal. In order to address the climate crisis with the urgency and scale it necessitates, here are the priorities we’d like to see:

By including these priorities in the reconciliation bill, Congress can live up to President Biden’s campaign promises to create a better future for all of us. 

Our moment is now. Use our tool to contact your elected representatives and demand that bold climate action is prioritized in the Build Back Better Act.

In solidarity,
