In case you missed it, John:
Last week, the Supreme Court made a decision on West Virginia v. EPA which severely limits the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) ability to reduce greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act.
That means that we're no longer just up against the corrupt fossil fuel industry and a gridlocked Congress — as if that's not enough — but also an anti-regulatory Supreme Court.
But it doesn't mean the fight for a just, clean, and renewable future is lost. Far from it.
Now, we're setting our sights on President Biden. He has the authority to set us on the path toward climate justice through executive action, and we must demand that he follow through on his climate promises. But we can't do it alone.
So, in this crucial moment, we all need to do everything we can to put an end to the fossil fuel industry's corruption and destruction. That's why we've put together your supporter record, so you can see all you've done for the climate movement in 2022. Will you take a moment to review it?

The Supreme Court just dealt a major blow to our climate movement. I'm going to explain exactly what happened, but first I need to ask you to help us fight back with a $3.50 donation today — or any amount you can — so we can mobilize our movement and call on Biden to hold polluters accountable.
Here's what happened, John:
Today's decision on West Virginia v. EPA limits the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) ability to reduce greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act.
The Supreme Court sided with the fossil fuel industry to strip the EPA of the power to do its job: protecting the environment and our communities from a growing climate crisis.
By limiting the EPA's authority to regulate pollution from the energy sector, which accounts for a quarter of the U.S. emissions that are contributing to climate change, the Supreme Court is putting our environment, our climate, and our health in danger.
It's clear that we cannot continue to rely on an anti-regulatory Supreme Court that is in the pockets of industry to protect our families and our climate. It must come from our movement — from the people.
The good news is that this decision does nothing to undermine Biden's authority to follow through on his climate promises through executive action — which is why I am hoping I can count on your help today:
We're calling on Biden to send a signal to the industry and SCOTUS by declaring a climate emergency, stopping the federal approval of all new fossil fuel projects that are harming our communities and fueling climate chaos, and accelerating a just, clean, and renewable energy transition.
Momentum is on our side. Biden followed through on our movement's demand to use the Defense Production Act to boost renewable energy manufacturing under the guidance of workers, environmental justice communities, and other impacted people.
The time for executive action on climate is now — we have no more time to waste.
This news is very hard to hear, but we're in this movement together and we'll never stop fighting for the future we deserve.
Thank you for never giving up.
