John,
With many parts of the country still thawing out from an unprecedented polar vortex that left thousands without power over the holiday season, it is becoming increasingly difficult for governments to ignore the looming climate crisis.
Climate change is no longer a distant future problem; it’s here. We need bold action to protect our planet and ensure its future.
That’s why we’re calling for President Biden to formally declare a climate emergency: By declaring a national climate emergency, Biden can unlock emergency executive powers, which are already granted by Congress, to combat the crisis to the fullest extent possible.
With a divided Congress, executive action may be one of the only choices the federal government has left to fight off the worst of the climate crisis. We want Biden to know that all eyes are still on him and we need him to use all the tools he can to declare a climate emergency and use his executive power to stop climate devastation. Will you sign our petition to Biden to amp up the pressure to declare a climate emergency?

In the first few months of the Biden administration, we saw positive changes being implemented – we saw a suite of executive actions on climate, President Biden rejoined the Paris Climate Agreement, and he stopped plans for drilling in the Arctic Refuge. His action on climate, including passage of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA) has been a step in the right direction.
But John, all of that happened because of the pressure we applied. And his legacy isn’t set in the stone. Just recently, President Biden backed Manchin's fossil fuel permitting deal — a Dirty Deal designed by and for the fossil fuel industry to make it easier and faster to get permits for fossil fuel projects. Whose side is he really on?
To secure his legacy on climate, John, President Biden needs to take bold action by declaring a climate emergency. If all of us show Biden that we’re not easing up on our demands, he’ll take action. Will you add your name on our petition to Biden today?
Thanking you for taking action,
