John, the findings in the United Nations' Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) latest report couldn’t be any clearer:
There is still hope to secure a livable future, but only if world
governments take immediate action to improve their current climate
policies – especially when it comes to phasing out fossil fuels.^1
The United States is the second biggest emitter of fossil fuels, which
means we have a critical role to play in reversing this alarming trend and
ensuring a future for us and our planet. President Biden holds the power
to meet this moment with the urgency and seriousness it deserves by
declaring a climate emergency.

a moment – but if you’re already on board: Will you lend your powerful
voice to our movement by signing our petition calling on President Biden
to declare a climate emergency?

By declaring a climate emergency, President Biden won’t just be paying lip
service to our movement – he’ll be green lighting real, enforceable
actions that will make all the difference in our fight for a sustainable
future. That could include:
* Reinstating the crude oil export ban.
* Redirecting disaster relief funds toward distributed renewable energy
construction in frontline communities.
* Requiring the United States military institute use 100% justly sourced
and justly implemented clean energy solutions at all bases and
installations.
Plus, all of these actions would lead to millions of high-quality union
jobs.
The good news is that the world already has the technology and the
know-how to achieve its climate goals, and recent unprecedented
investments in renewable energy have made it more affordable and more
accessible.
But in order to end the era of fossil fuels, it's not enough to just power
up justly sourced and justly implemented renewables – we also have to put
a stop to fossil fuel emissions.
To push Biden to take the drastic climate action that's needed, we must be
the loudest voice in the room. If we all band together, we can drown out
the special interest groups, Big Oil lobbyists, and corporations that are
keeping us on this path to destruction.
Together, we have the power to move leaders like President Biden to do
what’s right for our planet. At this moment, that means declaring a
climate emergency and taking immediate action to move away from fossil
fuels.

John. Will you join us and
call on President Biden to declare a climate emergency?
