John,
We need a Senate that takes the climate crisis seriously, so since last November, we have been pushing to replace Senator Joe Manchin as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
Senator Manchin in his role as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources has repeatedly ignored, stalled, or shot-down attempt after attempt to transition our country away from climate crisis causing fossil fuels to sustainable alternatives such as wind and solar.
Now, with news that Senator Manchin has agreed to include $369 billion for climate and energy programs in the spending package, it's clear that our pressure is working!
Manchin came to the table and negotiated with leadership because of pressure like ours.
But the passage of historic climate legislation isn't a done deal, especially with Senator Manchin's track record of flip-flopping at the last minute on climate-related legislation.
Whether our pressure truly leads to Manchin caving, in order to keep the Chairmanship, or it leads to him being booted from his committee role, it's time to hold Senator Manchin accountable.
Keep up the pressure and demand Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer replace Senator Manchin as Chair of the most critical environmental committee in the U.S. Senate NOW.
Thank you for all you do.
