REAL momentum on climate action!
[[link removed]]Hey John,
Two weeks ago, the House of Representatives passed the Build Back Better Act
(BBBA), a historic piece of legislation that includes the most significant investments in climate and clean energy, EVER . But we still have work to do! Americans across the nation are applying pressure on their Senators to follow
suit and pass the BBBA—and it’s going to take all of us to hold them
accountable.

In 2020, the U.S. experienced a record-breaking 22 climate disasters ( 1 ), which combined to impact nearly 1 in every 3 Americans ( 2 ). The climate crisis is here and now. We can’t afford to keep waiting for
action.
ACT NOW!

In addition to investments in the clean energy sector that will create
high-paying union jobs, the Build Back Better Act provides for tangible action to halve carbon
emissions by 2030 ( 3 ). The BBBA also prioritizes equity and community development, making strides
towards ending environmental racism

We asked for bold and transformative climate action, and the House is prepared
to deliver it with the Build Back Better Act . With 550 billion dollars earmarked for climate action, the BBBA would be the
largest climate investment ever. (Seriously! Again, the largest ever!) Now, we need our Senators to do their part. Let them know climate action must be a priority!

We’ve never been so close to achieving climate justice. We can’t afford to let
this moment slip away.
