BREAKING NEWS: Earlier today, the Supreme Court announced its decision on West Virginia v. EPA. The Court's decision will now severely limit the federal government's ability to regulate carbon emissions from power plants, the second largest contributor to global warming in the United States.
This is one of the most environmentally devastating Supreme Court decisions in decades, and a major blow to the fight against climate change. Just after its radical decision to strip many Americans of their reproductive rights, the Supreme Court has
once again abandoned precedent and brought us backwards in time.
To respond, we need the entire environmental movement to step up. We need your help. With the EPA’s ability to combat climate change curtailed, there is an immediate need to pass climate legislation that will dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We are also demanding Congress expand the Supreme Court — to rebalance the scales for a more just, honorable, and equitable judiciary.
The truth is, there's a real shot — but the window to get a deal done is within the next few weeks.
We need your help to win legislation to avoid climate catastrophe in the wake of this radical decision. The best thing you can do right now is to help power our work with a contribution today. Your support is what powers our campaigns for climate action.
The Supreme Court has launched an unprecedented assault on justice and progress as it strikes down essential reproductive rights, voting rights, and key environmental protections.
Make no mistake, this decision will severely undermine the EPA's authority to fight climate change.
This decision won't just escalate the climate crisis — it could gut our government's ability to enforce countless laws that protect our health and safety, from food safety to pollution and much more.
To minimize the damage, we need to act quickly.
Corporate polluters are celebrating today's decision, but
the environmental movement has something they don't — the support of grassroots activists like you who are committed to saving our climate from radical politicians.
Our campaign for climate action needs your help — now more than ever. Will you stand with us? Make a gift right now to make sure we have the resources we need to pass real climate legislation following this awful decision.
Thank you for standing with us at this important moment.
Onward,
Alex, Caitlyn, and Krysten
