Hey,
The Cuyahoga River caught fire at least 11 times before June 22, 1969, but that was the day it finally made national news.
Cleveland mayor Carl Stokes brought global attention to the 1969 disaster, and his demands for federal action helped spur the growth of the environmental movement.
With renewed momentum, Wisconsin's Senator Gaylord Nelson organized the first Earth Day less than a year later, and Congress passed the bipartisan Clean Water Act and Clean Air Act, created the Environmental Protection Act, and enacted many more environmental protections in the years to come.
But in recent years, dark money groups and corporate interests have gradually erased many of the protections we've won over the last 53 years and blocked our ability to address climate change.
Just as in 1969, solving the crisis we face in 2022 is a project bigger than any one person, city, state, or nation. Congress must enact laws that help us address these targets now.
Tomorrow is Earth Day, and we're ready to do our part. If you agree that Congress must take action to stop climate change, show your support now.
If we don't act now, our children and grandchildren will pay the price.
Thank you for committing to their future,
Team Casey
