ICYMI: Did you see Ellen's email from Friday? It's an important read.

Last week, President Biden made the right decision to cut Russian oil from our economy. Now more than ever, Biden must push to break our dependence on corrupt, oil dictators in exchange for clean, renewable energy. It's time for an era of the Green New Deal: The switch to renewables is the best way we can prevent fossil-fueled conflicts and climate catastrophe.

That's why we put together a petition demanding Biden replace our dependence on foreign oil with a transition to renewable energy once and for all. But we don't see your name on this yet, John. Will you join us by adding your name now? [[link removed]]

President Biden has a choice. He can either follow through on his promises and demonstrate international climate leadership, or he can lock us into decades more pollution and instability while further propping up authoritarian regimes.

It's time for Biden to be a real leader. Thank you for adding your name today.

In solidarity,

All of us at Sunrise

John,On Tuesday, President Biden made the right decision to cut Russian oil from our economy. But now he faces pressure from fossil fuel lobbyists & corrupt politicians to strengthen our reliance on oil dictators. We can't let this happen.

Our reliance on both Russian and Saudi oil and gas is what led us to this crisis, and is a failure of American energy policy. Biden must break our dependence on these oil dictators once and for all. The clean energy revolution is the best way to help prevent fossil-fueled conflicts and climate catastrophe.

It's long past time that we transitioned off of dirty, corrupt oil energy and ushered in a new age of renewables — an era of the Green New Deal. Biden can't listen to fossil fuel CEOs who are profiting on war. He must listen to our demands for a livable future.

We've put together a petition demanding President Biden be a real leader and replace our dependence on foreign oil with renewable energy. Will you join us by signing our petition now? [[link removed]]

As Big Oil continues to profit off corrupt petrostates, the people of Ukraine are being murdered in a brutal war that is funded in large part by oil and gas.

If the U.S. really wants to defend human rights and democracy abroad, we need a just transition to renewable energy. Now is the time to rewrite the rules of international dependency on fossil fuels. Biden must mobilize this country as we did in World War II and lead a massive, global clean energy transition that prioritizes human rights, democracy, and high labor standards. That's what the Green New Deal is, and that's what we need now.

Biden must use our leverage as an international leader to lead this effort, prevent future petro-wars, and prevent oligarchs and dictators from profiting off the destruction of our planet and ultimately the destruction of innocent lives.

But with fossil fuel CEOs and warmongers in his ear, it's important that he hears our call for a world without oil conflicts. Will you add your name to our petition demanding a renewable energy transition today? [[link removed]]
