Dear Friend,

THIS. IS. HUGE.

After months of calling on Congress, knocking on doors, and organizing across the country, yesterday President Biden announced the framework for the Build Back Better Act — which contains the strongest action the U.S. has ever taken to combat the climate crisis.

The landmark framework of Build Back Better will put the U.S. on the path to cutting our climate pollution in half by 2030, create good-paying union jobs, and invest directly in communities of color who unfairly bear the brunt of pollution and climate-related disasters. After years of fighting together, this is the most transformational climate legislation ever.

The finish line is in sight, but we need your help to get there. Now that the Build Back Better framework is released, the House and the Senate still need to pass it before it heads to the president's desk. There's no room for error — and to make sure that it passes with every climate provision intact, we need your help.
 
We've set the goal of 10,000 LCV members to write to their member of Congress BEFORE Monday to pass the Build Back Better Act. Will you be one of these critical signers? Add your name »

These are just a few of the climate and environmental justice highlights in the Build Back Better framework that we must show support for:

1. Robust tax incentives for clean energy, transmission, vehicles, manufacturing, innovative technologies, and energy efficiency that will save households hundreds of dollars annually
2. Electric vehicle purchase incentives that support union jobs and American manufacturing and can help meet the goal of electric vehicles being 50% of new cars by 2030
3. Air and water pollution reductions focused in frontline communities
4. Clean Energy and Sustainability Accelerator that delivers 40% of investments to disadvantaged communities to help meet the President's Justice40 initiative
5. Creating a Civilian Climate Corps with a diverse workforce of over 300,000 members
6. Restoring protections to the Arctic Refuge
7. Ban new oil and gas leasing off the east coast, west coast, and eastern Gulf of Mexico

And so much more. As climate impacts are ravaging communities in nearly every corner of this country, we simply are out of time. The Build Back Better Act is truly the transformational climate action that we need.

But it all hangs on the line — and it's absolutely critical that your members of Congress hear from you to push it over the finish line.

We must meet this goal of 10,000 signatures by Sunday. Will you write your member of Congress today?

Tell your member of Congress that you support bold investments to fight the climate crisis before it's too late! Sign here »

We would not have arrived at this point without your support. But we did not come this far to only come this far. Please, help us push the Build Back Better Act over the finish line today.

Thank you,
