Hey Indivisibles,

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has worked hard to undo many of the harms of the Trump administration. However, almost half of Americans are living in areas with unhealthy levels of air pollution and many communities don’t have access to clean water. Representatives Mike Levin and Katie Porter are leading a letter calling on the EPA to strengthen clean air and water standards. President Biden has the power to accomplish this, but we need a strong showing of support for using executive action to address pollution! Call your Representative right now to make sure they sign-on!

In case you missed last week’s update, there’s also been progress on our other issues:

We’re still celebrating President Biden’s announcement to invoke the Defense Production Act to ramp up investment in green technologies 🎉Check out Leah’s recap video on this victory here!
Rep. Ilhan Omar along with 55 congressional colleagues released a letter calling for Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona to provide details about the specific timeline and implementation of President Biden’s plan to cancel student debt. In the letter, they state, “it is important that borrowers get relief quickly and aren't hampered by unnecessary roadblocks and obligations.” This is the crux of the argument now. We need President Biden to fulfill his commitment to cancellation in a manner that is fast and effective, does not create unnecessary barriers that would unduly burden our most vulnerable borrowers -- AND ensures he goes big to provide the broadest relief.

In addition to swift climate action, and immediate movement on student debt, there are so many substantive issues that we need to push President Biden to use his power of executive action to bring about much needed change and improve the lives of the American people.

This is where you come in:

Prescription Drug Pricing

If you have a Democratic senator, click here to tell them to sign on to Sen. Warren's open letter calling on Biden to lower prescription drug pricing now. The deadline is TODAY!
If you have a Democratic representative, click here to tell them to sign on to Representatives Doggett and Castro's letter to end Big Pharma’s price gouging. The deadline is TODAY!
If you have Republican representation, click here to call the White House comment line and tell Biden directly that we need cheap access to essential drugs like EpiPens, HIV/AIDS medication, and insulin.

Student Debt

If you have Republican representation, click here to connect to the White House comment line and tell Biden directly that 25% of borrowers who held student debt in 2009 owe more today than they did ten years ago, and that means testing and restrictive barriers would be a disaster for implementation (more on why it’s prohibitive here).
If you have a Democratic senator, click here to tell them to encourage Biden to cancel at least $50,000 in federal student debt without restrictive barriers.
If you have a Democratic representative, click here to tell them to remind Biden that $50,000 in debt cancellation would relieve 80% of borrowers from their debt burden.

Click here to demand the White House strengthen the Justice40 Initiative before it is finalized. Last year, President Biden instituted his interim Justice40 Initiative to ensure at least 40% of federal climate investments directly benefit frontline communities. As he’s looking to finalize guidelines, now is a critical time to provide feedback so that the end policies will be as impactful as possible. Talk to your friends. Talk to your family. Talk to everyone. Most importantly, tell the White House to strengthen Justice40. Environmental justice will not be just until the most impacted communities are supported. (To learn more, watch this video about Justice40.)
