This week is a big moment for our Federal Reserve campaign,
John.
The Senate Banking Committee will hold a nomination hearing for Biden's
three picks for the Federal Reserve this Thursday, and we’re working
around the clock to make sure that this entire slate of candidates – Lael
Braninard, Lisa Cook, Sarah Bloom Raskin, and Philip Jefferson – are
confirmed.
These candidates would bring much needed change to the Federal Reserve.
But some Senate Republicans are already lobbying against the nominees,
attacking not only their qualifications, but whether or not the Federal
Reserve should even address issues of climate and systemic racism through
financial regulations.
Going into this big week, we’re hoping to drive hundreds of calls to the
Senate to help combat these attacks and secure a new slate of leaders to
the Federal Reserve.
[ [link removed] ]Can you call your senators today to help get these nominees across the
finish line and bring new climate champions to the Federal Reserve?
Sample Script
“Hi, my name is John and I am your constituent from
Philadelphia. I am calling to ask the Senator to confirm
President Biden’s nominees to the Federal Reserve Board now.
We need experienced leaders like Sarah Bloom Raskin, Lisa Cook and Philip
Jefferson at the Federal Reserve. These are people who care about families
and communities like mine, take climate change seriously, and can tackle
real issues we’re facing like racial and economic injustice.
President Biden made the right choice by picking these highly qualified
nominees who will bring experience, diversity, and expertise to the Fed.
Please confirm his Fed nominees immediately.”

Our pressure is working, and it’s only been possible thanks to grassroots
supporters like you,
John. Together, we succeeded
in pressuring Biden to nominate our desired candidates and now, we have
one more major hurdle to cross.
Through our movement’s pressure, we’ve successfully changed the narrative
around the Federal Reserve and its role in promoting climate justice and
equity. Just take a look:
