John,

This has been a tough month for a lot of us.

Last week, President Biden broke his campaign promise to end new oil and gas drilling on public lands and waters, and approved the Willow Project — the single largest oil extraction project ever proposed on federal lands.

And today, the IPCC released another damning report, issuing a final warning to our governments and corporations across the world: if we don’t stop using fossil fuels, the Earth will hit a critical warming threshold that we can’t come back from by the early 2030s.

I’m sure you’re also thinking none of this is new. That’s true. We’ve known for years that the climate crisis is worsening and that if we continue on our current path there won't be water to drink, there won't be clean air to breathe, and millions of people will suffer as a consequence. But bought out politicians and fossil fuel companies continue to sweep these basic facts under the rug to protect their short term profits.

F*ck that. We’re not going to stand for it, John. Can you add your name to our petition today to call on President Biden to declare a climate emergency NOW and invoke the Defense Production Act (DPA) to expedite the transition to renewable energy?

Band-Aid solutions are not enough. As much as the Biden administration doesn’t want to hear it, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is not enough. We need to take drastic measures now and end our relationship with fossil fuels before it’s too late.

But here’s the thing: there’s never been a better moment for that than right now. Our generation is growing in influence and power. Each day, more of us are joining the fight to stop the climate crisis. We have a real plan to take over our communities – from our schools to our local and state governments. And dent by dent, we will take down the forces that stand in our way for a better future. We just can’t let up – even when we have a tough month.

Add your name now to tell the Biden administration to meet the scale of the climate crisis with Executive action. It’s long past time to declare a climate emergency and transition to renewable energy. Our window of opportunity to save our generation is rapidly closing and we don’t have any time to waste.
