Friend,
Just two weeks after the Supreme Court's disastrous climate decision, and after nearly two years of bad-faith negotiations, Joe Manchin has cemented his legacy: blocking our best shot at transitioning to affordable, American clean energy and preserving a livable planet. He has betrayed the American public and the climate agenda they voted for.
After SCOTUS' and Manchin's betrayal, it's time for President Biden to take the gloves off and deliver his climate agenda through executive action. Sign our rapid response petition right now: Executive action is the only path forward for Biden—he has the power and must use it immediately.
The EPA has the authority to tackle pollution in the power sector. They must use it.
The Department of the Interior has the authority to end new fossil fuel leases on public lands and waters. They must use it.
President Biden has the power to scale up clean energy production through the Defense Production Act. He must use it.
It's time for Biden to step up. Sign on to demand he use the power of the presidency to finally deliver climate action.
Onward,
Jamal Raad
Executive Director, Evergreen Action
