Dear John, 

It’s spooky season, and there’s nothing scarier than the thought of climate change raging on uncontrolled. Congress is still working through the Build Back Better Act, which is our shot to make bold investments in clean, good paying jobs, and environmental justice.

President Biden has called the climate crisis a “code red” situation. Reconciliation gives Congress a unique opportunity to make big investments in environmental justice, good-paying jobs, conservation, and more, but we need your help getting it past the finish line.

Best,
