This historic cost-saving legislation will make overdue investments in clean energy, improve energy security, and build a more affordable, healthy, just, and equitable future.
This legislation will not only ramp up clean energy production in the U.S. – which could be a game changer for Pennsylvania workers – but it will also lower the costs of prescription drugs, help to tackle inflation, and reduce our deficit.
This bill also includes critical investments to advance environmental justice and address decades of disproportionate impacts of pollution and climate change on communities of color and low-income communities. Pennsylvania’s environmental justice communities deserve clean air and access to green space, and this bill can help bring long overdue justice and change.
Between increasingly devastating climate-fueled extreme weather events, Big Oil’s price gouging, and inflation driven by Putin’s war and COVID, this agreement on transformational cost-saving clean energy legislation could not have come sooner. People need relief – and our voices are finally getting heard.
If this bill is going to pass, every Pennsylvania Democrat in the U.S. House needs to vote yes and urge their colleagues to stay strong. Whether you’ve been emailing and calling Congress every week or haven’t gotten a chance to speak up yet, this is the moment we need everyone taking action.
Please, urge our representatives to vote YES on the Inflation Reduction Act to tackle the climate crisis and lower costs for our hard working families.
Thanks for being part of this moment.
