The U.S. is ready to make historic investments in climate solutions — at a time when we need it most. But our elected officials won’t take action without a push from us! It’s time for our communities to speak with one voice, so we can rebuild our economy with climate solutions at its core.
Together, we can transform the U.S. by modernizing our largest and most harmful sources of pollution — the transportation and power sectors. But only if our leaders step up and pass the largest investment in clean energy jobs in American history.
Will you join us at the White House to send President Biden, Congress and lawmakers at all levels of government a message they can’t ignore?
Thank you for being one of our most committed supporters, we hope to see you next Saturday!
