John,

The United States military is the world's largest institutional source of greenhouse gas emissions and produces more carbon emissions than over 120 countries. But for too long, it has been free from accountability for its severe climate impacts.

It’s time for that to change, and Barbara Lee is leading the charge to hold the Pentagon accountable for its climate impact.

Barbara introduced a resolution to establish targets for reducing the U.S. military’s emissions in line with the Paris climate agreement, starting with a mandate to monitor, track, and report greenhouse gas emissions from all of its operations.

​​We must do our part to immediately and drastically draw down the world's greenhouse gas emissions, and that includes monitoring and reducing the carbon footprint of the single largest institutional source of emissions on the planet — the U.S. military.

Barbara is leading this fight in Congress, but she’s counting on you to help drum up grassroots support for the resolution. Sign on today if you agree with Barbara’s plan to hold the Pentagon accountable for its climate impacts.

There’s no time to wait. We’re already seeing the horrific consequences of the climate crisis — including the wildfires that ravaged California this year. The time for transformative action is now.

Thank you for signing on,

— Team Barbara Lee
