change. Sign today >>

Friend,

For the past week, world leaders have been debating how best to address
the looming disaster of climate change. At home, Congress is getting
closer to passing significant legislation as part of the Build Back Better
Act that could make great strides in combating climate change.

But the fact is that we still need a way to pay for climate-focused
initiatives, and we need to make sure that polluters are paying their fair
share to fix a problem they had a huge role in creating.

Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, alongside four of their
Democratic colleagues, have announced a new proposal to finally force Big
Oil to clean up their mess: A climate fund to help pay for clean energy
and climate action financed by charging the worst offenders for their past
pollution.

[ [link removed] ]Sign NOW to demand that Congress pass the Polluters Pay Climate Fund
Act before climate change is irreversible! >>

These senators already have a sponsor – Rep. Jamaal Bowman – lined up to
lead the Polluters Pay Climate Fund Act through the House, because
progressive champions know how dire climate change has become. This plan
would raise an estimated $500 billion by collecting fees from corporations
for their past pollution and establish a Polluters Pay Climate Fund that
directs the money towards the advancement of clean energy infrastructure,
climate projects, and more.

The largest 25 to 30 fossil fuel companies, those that have caused the
highest emissions, would pay the fee. It’s time to make these big
polluters pay for the damage they’ve done.

[ [link removed] ]Add your name to urge Congress to swiftly take up and PASS the
Polluters Pay Climate Fund! >>

It’s critical that Congress move quickly on the Polluters Pay Climate Fund
Act; recent reports from environmental experts make it clear that we
cannot afford to waste any time in building this new energy
infrastructure. Words from global leaders are not enough – we need to
start doing the work at home before it’s too late.

In solidarity,

Sarah, Digital Campaigns Associate
