Stand with Ukraine! Get loud for clean energy
CCL has launched a "Fight Mean, Go Green" campaign to highlight that a
transition to clean energy will also weaken Putin.
Our reliance on oil is harming the health and security of people around
the world. And recently, Putin's aggression in Ukraine has been heavily
enabled by Russia's global supply of oil and natural gas. At the same
time, prices in America have risen at the pump and to heat our homes.
That means we're in a rare moment where national attention is centered
on global energy politics, which is directly tied to climate change.
There is high pressure on Congress right now to double down on fossil
fuel investments, increasing our dependence on fossil fuels right when
we need to be moving away from them. One of the most important things
any American can do to help Ukraine is to commit to clean energy and to
let their elected officials know that we stand with Ukraine.
Other folks in the climate space have picked up on our new campaign and
have even shared it themselves, including Bill McKibben

, Michael Mann, and Moms Clean Air Force

.
During our Fight Mean, Go Green campaign, you can contact the White
House and your members of Congress to let them know that you support
clean energy and stand with Ukraine. Since the campaign launched,
volunteers like you have generated thousands of emails and calls to
Congress — have you made your voice heard yet?
