Dear John,
Thanks to the thousands of you who raised your voices last year, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the most significant climate and jobs legislation in our nation’s history — the Build Back Better Act.
Now, the U.S. Senate must pass the bill, which puts us on a path to addressing the crisis at the scale that science and justice demand. In Maine and across the country, the costs of inaction on climate are numerous and staggering.
Sen. Angus King has been a strong advocate for the Build Back Better Act, and we need him to keep the pressure on his colleagues to support this historic climate legislation. Click here to send a message to Senator King right now to thank him for his commitment and ask him to keep up the fight in the U.S. Senate. Senator Collins has not yet stepped up to support the most important climate bill in our nation's history – and we need to let her know that a vote against the Build Back Better Act is a vote against preparing future generations of Mainers for climate impacts. Click here to send a message to Senator Collins right now and urge her to support the Build Back Better Act. There's a chance that the bill will begin moving through the Senate in the next few weeks. Maine’s Senators need to hear from you now. Investments in clean energy, energy savings, good-paying union jobs, and clean air and water for everyone cannot wait. We need to act on climate now.
In 2022, we are more determined than ever and we will keep fighting to ensure this bill becomes law.
Thank you for sticking with us on this legislation and so much more.
Onward!
Abbie
