Stand up for climate justice!

Dear John,

Today, frontline communities from Alaska to Appalachia are in Washington, D.C. We are marching to send a message to Congress and President Biden: No more deals for the fossil fuel industry! It’s time to stop sacrificing our communities to more pollution and climate disasters.

I hope you will join us now! Urge Congress to reject fossil fuel handouts and advance climate justice priorities. [link removed]

As the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) was passed, news leaked that Senate leadership made a side deal. This deal aims to fast-track permits for fossil fuel projects. It also threatens bedrock environmental laws. This news came after many environmental justice groups decried harmful provisions in the IRA. One example is mandating fossil fuel leasing before any renewable energy projects can be built on public lands and waters. This is unacceptable.

Our goal should be not only to reduce carbon emissions or adapt to climate change. We must address the climate crisis at home and abroad with a justice lens. Congress should take significant steps toward ending environmental injustices. They should prioritize the well-being of people over profit. And they should foster healthy, thriving communities and ecosystems.

Tell your member of Congress: Reject fossil fuel deals. Stand up for environmental protections. Take action to move us closer to climate justice. [link removed]

Thank you for joining us in taking action today!
