Friend,
Earlier this week, the Senate held confirmation hearings for Jerome Powell, Biden's nominee for Chair of the Federal Reserve—and thanks to your advocacy, the climate crisis was front and center in the hearing. (In fact, he was pressed on the issue eight times!)
Reducing climate-related financial risk (like shrinking the amount of money banks loan fossil fuel corporations) is an essential part of our plan to end the climate crisis, and we were thrilled to hear top senators get Powell on the record agreeing that climate will be a top priority for the Fed.
We still need to push Powell further—but for now, will you celebrate this win and join us in thanking Senators Brown, Tester, Warren, and Van Hollen for their climate advocacy at this week's hearing? We have tweets pre-written and ready for you below!
Thank you for keeping our leaders accountable—and thanking them when they deliver!
Lena Moffitt,
