John,

Over the last few weeks, the Supreme Court has issued terrible rulings on
reproductive rights and gun regulations that rightfully grabbed the
attention of millions of people across the country.

But there was also another ruling, West Virginia v. EPA, that deserves
just as much indignation from each and every one of us.

In a huge victory for Big Oil and the fossil fuel industry, the Supreme
Court has placed severe limits on the ability of the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) to regulate carbon emissions.

The 6-3 decision in West Virginia v. EPA essentially creates a situation
where unless Congress precisely states the regulatory power a federal
agency has to address any issue, the Court may strike it down.

need you to stand with us as we tell Congress to step up and pass
meaningful climate legislation now.

This decision is undeniably a power grab by the Supreme Court to vastly
expand its power to overrule any and all regulations made by any agency
that Congress didn’t clearly define when granting an agency broad powers.

The impact of this ruling cannot be understated. It completely destroys
the ability of the executive branch, and thus, in this case, the EPA to
seriously tackle major environmental issues on its own.

So now, with Supreme Court tying the hands of the Executive branch,
Congress must finally enact the comprehensive policies we need to turn the
tide on the climate crisis.

Thank you for stepping up in this critical moment.
