Senator Manchin is once again trying to pass his dirty deal. We stopped it once, now we need to fight hard to stop it again. We're hearing that the House is poised to vote as early as TODAY, this morning (EST) on a rule that would attach the Dirty Deal to the NDAA -- Congress’s annual must-pass defense spending bill. The Dirty Deal provisions would gut key environmental laws and fast-track the Mountain Valley Pipeline and other fossil fuel projects. Today may be our final chance to stop these provisions from passing. Can you take two minutes right now to call your Representative and Senator and tell them to oppose the dirty deal? Dial 917-791-2257 to call your Representative, then (888) 997-5380 to call your Senator. Here’s what to say: In September, the frontlines stood up to Senator Manchin and Senator Schumer and defeated this dirty side deal that would undermine our bedrock environmental laws, fast-track fossil fuel projects, and sacrifice environmental justice communities to more. Unfortunately, during the final weeks of this Congress, lawmakers are attempting to revive the Dirty Deal. New handouts to the fossil fuel industry are unacceptable during a climate crisis; it's critical that we keep up the pressure. Frontline communities should not be used as bargaining chips in a fossil fueled scheme. We have demonstrated that anytime Senators Manchin and Schumer want to cut a deal for more fossil fuels, they’ll have to deal with us first. Now let's keep up the fight! Call your Representative and Senator right now to oppose this dirty deal. In solidarity, |
