Sept 21 update: Today, Joe Manchin (Fossil fascist, WV) is finally releasing the details of his dirty deal. But Manchin's new deal isn't a sign of strength. It's a sign of cowardice.

More than 80 Democrats have pledged to stop Manchin's dirty deal. Senators Sanders and Markey have also pledged to vote against it. Most Republicans are opposed because Manchin cut them out of negotiations.

That means, all we need to do to stop Manchin's dirty deal is to hold our coalition together in the House for a few more days, and convince a few more Senators to join us in outspoken opposition.

We're close, so close, to stopping Manchin's dirty deal — But we're missing your signature.

Before Manchin's dirty deal gets a vote in the Senate, will you click here to sign our petition to Congress and demand they stop Manchin's dirty deal?

More info below if you need a refresher or want to forward to friends.

We've already told you how Manchin's dirty deal is a fossil fuel bonanza. It guts the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) and the Clean Water Act, while blocking public comment and diminishing indigenous peoples' right to free prior and informed consent. And no matter what lies Joe Manchin is telling this week, or what gullible climate peacocks in the Senate want to believe, it will not do anything to promote renewable energy or electricity transmission.

As Rashida Tlaib recently said, "we don’t owe Manchin a damn thing." Especially after he’s spent more than a year as the (undeserved) chair of the Senate Energy Committee dragging his feet and derailing every single climate action we need – from investment in renewables to a free an fair decision making at Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).

We cannot allow Manchin's Dirty Deal to sacrifice the health and well-being of frontline communities on the altar of corporate greed. We cannot allow Manchin to trade climate stability for money and donations from the fossil fuel industry. We cannot allow fossil fueled fascists to dictate the terms of US energy policy for one minute more.

Sign the petition: Demand Congress stop Manchin's Dirty Deal.

Thanks,
