Today’s Action: Tell Democrats to stand together on a strong, progressive reconciliation bill!
The United Nations came out with a 3,000 page "code red" report that outlines, in some cases, irreversible damage done to ecosystems across the planet. Greece is on fire, flash flooding has literally put communities under water, and infrastructures across the world have proven they are not prepared to withstand the devastation. It’s a terrifying reality; without immediate action from our political and corporate leaders, the next few decades will be a test of which communities have the resources to survive increasing climate disasters and those that do not.
The minute that Congress reconvenes, Democrats must stand together to pass a bold, progressive reconciliation bill with substantial climate initiatives. Now that President Biden’s historic infrastructure package has passed in the Senate, passing the reconciliation bill must remain a top priority. The United States continues to be one of the top producers of pollutants in the world. Our legislators need to do some serious heavy lifting.
Call (202-224-3121) or email your members of Congress and tell them to stand behind bold climate action in the upcoming discussions for the reconciliation bill, and pass it immediately!
Global powers must take action to lower greenhouse gas emissions and consider providing assistance to vulnerable countries suffering the consequences of decades of industrialized pollution. It’s critical that our elected leaders unite behind the passage of the budget reconciliation bill, with all of its proposed climate initiatives intact.
The Earth is in trouble. Vulnerable nations are suffering at the hands of hundreds of corporations, who are creating around 70% of emissions in the United States. Marginalized communities will suffer the worst effects of global warming, but none of us will be spared from the devastation.
Call (202-224-3121) or email your members of Congress and remind them that they have the power to drastically slow the course of climate change by immediately passing
a bold reconciliation bill!
PS — Please don't forget to sign the petition telling Twitter to expel Marjorie Taylor Greene permanently for vaccine misinformation, and be sure to follow OD Action on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
