John -

In November, President Biden announced that he is renominating Jerome
Powell to lead the Federal Reserve, missing a big opportunity to nominate
a chair with a commitment to ending fossil fuel finance.

While President Biden failed this important test on climate, it’s not a
guarantee that Powell will serve another term. That’s where you come
in, John.

Jerome Powell still must be confirmed by the Senate, where he’s already
lost three Democratic votes. Powell’s first big test is tomorrow where he
will go before the Senate Banking Committee.

We need to act quickly so the Senate knows we won’t settle for another
Powell term. That’s why we’re asking if you’ll write to your senators
today and demand they vote ‘no’ on his nomination and ‘yes’ on the
nomination of Lael Brainard for Vice Chair of the Federal Reserve Board of
Governors.

[ [link removed] ]John, can
you write to your senators today and ask that they vote against
reconfirming Powell?

While this nomination is tough to swallow, remember this: A few months
ago, an easy renomination and confirmation for Jerome Powell seemed
inevitable.

Now, because everyday people are looking at the Federal Reserve and
demanding better, Biden was forced to contend with other options and there
were moments when the renomination of Jerome Powell wasn’t certain.

If we keep up our efforts, we have the chance to sink this nomination and
get a Fed that prioritizes everyday people. [ [link removed] ]So
John, let your senators
know where they should stand on Powell by sending them a letter today. >>

We can’t settle for business as usual when the climate crisis worsens
every day. As long as Powell refuses to recognize the climate crisis as an
urgent and systemic economic threat, we’ll be advocating for a real
climate champion at the Fed.

Thanks for your support,
John.
