We can't continue like this,
John.

For the past month, everyday folks have been struggling to afford sky-high
prices at the gas pump. In some parts of the country, a gallon of gas now
costs more than $6, leading folks to pay $100 or even more to fill up
their car. The truth is, there’s no other reason for this than so that Big
Oil corporations can pad their profits.

Oil companies are already making huge amounts of money; they don't need to
raise prices. But they know they can, and extract more and more from
people just driving to get to work.

That’s why Cori introduced the Energy Security and Independence Act to
spur domestic production of clean energy technologies with Rep. Jason Crow
and Sen. Bernie Sanders earlier this week.

It's time to move beyond fossil fuels that pollute our air, overheat the
planet, and are subject to corporate price manipulation from CEOs at Exxon
and Chevron. True energy security means public investments in affordable,
renewable, reliable energy for everyone. That's what Cori’s new bill is
all about. It would allow President Biden to invoke the Defense Production
Act to scale our transition to zero-emission industries and invest in
programs to lower utility prices.



We know that passing the Energy Security and Independence Act is a needed
step in our work to achieve energy security and move away from volatile
fossil fuels. [ [link removed] ]Can you make a $5 donation right now to

We must start taking real steps toward transitioning our country toward a
green economy. That means making energy affordable for every household.
Investing in energy efficiency so people can breathe clean air and keep
the heat or air conditioning on. And alleviating the climate crisis by
reducing our emissions.

And it's past time we are honest about the disproportionate harm Black and
brown communities face as a result of our current reliance on fossil
fuels. "Natural" gas has exposed 1 million Black Americans to
cancer-causing carcinogens and has been responsible for thousands of days
of school missed by Black children.

As the first person from the movement in defense of Black lives to serve
in Congress, Cori is committed to leading this work to save Black lives.
This new bill builds on Cori's previous legislation including the Green
New Deal for Cities and People's Response Act to transform our country and
create safer and healthier communities.

anything you can to power Cori's work in Congress legislating for St.
Louis and communities like it? We need this grassroots movement to rise up
with Cori and show we are serious about energy security and addressing the
climate crisis.

Thank you for your support,

Team Cori
