WASHINGTON POST: Putin’s war and high gas prices hand Democrats an opening on climate.

Sign on here to urge Dem leaders to go on offense with a message that America must lead the world in a clean energy transition.

The Washington Post reports on the campaign we're leading with nearly 100 climate, veteran, foreign policy, and progressive organizations:

"A coalition of progressive groups is launching a new campaign urging Democratic leaders to appreciate that Vladimir Putin’s war, high gas prices, and soaring oil company profits create a unique and actionable political moment for a new push to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.

"There might never have been a better time to convince Americans that a future where no one even worries about the price of gas -- or the effect it has on the climate -- is absolutely possible.

"The constellation of groups involved -- which include the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, Indivisible, Sierra Club, Win Without War, and many others -- suggests such a message could mobilize a broad left-leaning coalition."

SIGN ON: Can you add your name calling on President Biden and Democratic leaders to go on offense and unite behind our clear message -- along with 100 organizations and thousands of other Americans who've already signed?

Signatures will be delivered to the White House and Congress to show widespread support for this clear, concise, popular message. We were proud to organize this campaign in collaboration with Evergreen Action, Common Defense, Win Without War, Indivisible, Sierra Club, and the League of Conservation Voters -- and nearly 100 endorsing organizations!

The Washington Post quotes PCCC co-founder Stephanie Taylor saying, “This is an opportunity to take aim at price-gouging oil companies and reframe clean energy as a national security issue heading into the midterms.”

With the world’s reliance on fossil fuels empowering Putin and Big Oil gouging consumers, we're urging Democratic leaders to stop playing defense with muddled messages on gas prices and go on offense with this clear message:

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine reaffirms that America must lead the world in a clean energy transition.

Our dependence on fossil fuel empowers authoritarians like Vladimir Putin, rogue oil-producing nations, and price-gouging oil companies. For the sake of our national security and planet, we call on America’s leaders to take immediate action to invest in domestic clean energy jobs and end our dependence on fossil fuel.
