We?re still not there, we need your help? ? ? TELL CONGRESS TO PASS THE BUILD BACK BETTER ACT ? [link removed]
Friend ? I want to give you another update on where things stand with the Build Back Better Act ? the most significant piece of climate legislation in our history.
On Friday night, the U.S. House moved closer to passing this historic legislation by voting 221-213 to clear procedural hurdles and a commitment for the House to vote the week of November 15.
Our window to contact our members of Congress and encourage them to vote for the strongest climate provisions possible is closing, and we need your help. We are out of time to tackle the climate crisis ? Congress must seize this historic opportunity to make the investments needed to put the U.S. on track to cut climate pollution in half by 2030, create good clean energy jobs, and advance climate justice.
Friend ? we've never needed you more. We need thousands of activists in every state writing into their members of Congress to make sure they know that climate action is critical, and that their constituents want big, bold investments to fight the climate crisis. Without that, we could risk losing everything.
Will you take five minutes to write to Congress today and tell them to prioritize climate action and pass the Build Back Better Act? Your voice is critical at this moment ? [link removed]
Thank you,
Craig Auster ? ? ? ? ? THIS IS OUR NOW OR NEVER MOMENT
President Biden just introduced the biggest climate investments in U.S. history as part of the Build Back Better Act. We are so close to delivering on climate action that people and the planet need ? including cutting our emissions in half by 2030 ? but we need your help to get this bill over the finish line.
We must make noise! Will you help flood Congressional inboxes this weekend? GOAL: 10,000 signatures before Sunday night! ? SIGN NOW [link removed] ? ? ? ? ? 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 ? [link removed]
These are just a few of the climate and environmental justice highlights in the Build Back Better framework that we must show support for: Robust tax incentives for clean energy, transmission, vehicles, manufacturing, innovative technologies, and energy efficiency that will save households hundreds of dollars annually 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 Air and water pollution reductions focused in frontline communities Clean Energy and Sustainability Accelerator that delivers 40% of investments to disadvantaged communities to help meet the President's Justice40 initiative Creating a Civilian Climate Corps with a diverse workforce of over 300,000 members Restoring protections to the Arctic Refuge 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 ? [link removed]
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,
