π The Build Back Better Act is headed to the Senate! π                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
Thanks to months β and decades β of organizing by you, your neighbors, frontline communities, young people, labor leaders, environmental advocates, and many more, we are one step closer to finally passing climate legislation at the scale and speed that science and justice demand. This is a rare moment of victory in the fight for climate justice and we should celebrate!                     
We are incredibly grateful to Congresswoman Pingree for championing this once-in-a-generation investment throughout the process. Our celebration is unfortunately dampened by our deep disappointment in Congressman Golden for voting no on this package, which will tackle climate change and help Maine families.                                                                                    
Fortunately, Congressman Golden will have a chance to right this mistake. Once the Senate reviews and acts on this historic bill, it will return to the House for final approval β giving Congressman Golden another opportunity to make clear his support for bold climate action.                                                                                                                     
Click here to call Rep. Golden now and urge him to vote YES when the Build Back Better Act returns to the House for final passage [[link removed]] . It only takes one minute and we make the process easy for you.
