Today’s Action: Tell your representatives to pass Biden’s strong reconciliation bill with all planned climate action intact!
It hasn’t been long since 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. It’s a terrifying reality; without immediate action from our political and corporate leaders, the next few decades will test which communities have the resources to survive increasing climate disasters and which do not.
Though Congress is currently in recess, we need to keep the pressure on and demand that strong climate action remain in the budget reconciliation bill — and demand it’s immediate passage upon the House reconvening. 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 forthcoming reconciliation bill, and to pass it immediately!
Global powers must take action to lower greenhouse gas emissions and provide 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 demanding the US evacuate Afghani translators and personnel at risk of being executed by the Taliban, and be sure to follow OD Action on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
