Tell President Biden & Congress: Summer heat emergency shows climate action can't wait

Climate action can’t wait. While last year’s landmark climate legislation – the Inflation Reduction Act, the most sweeping climate and clean energy law ever created in the U.S. – represents major progress, there’s still more to be done to confront the increasingly urgent climate crisis and secure healthy, equitable climate action.

With a Republican House majority, our progress on a clean energy future for all could be threatened. A divided Congress can and should instead come together on popular national priorities like securing our clean energy future by fully funding the implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act, reducing health-threatening pollution, and blocking new oil and gas drilling on our shared public lands, among other priorities.

Tell President Biden and Congress to continue working to enact game-changing climate action now, before the most vulnerable among us pay a price they can’t afford for a crisis they didn’t cause.

Add your name to call for transformative climate action.

Subject Prioritize climate action in 2023

Dear President Biden, Senators, and Representative:

Message Body

Climate action can't wait – I'm counting on you to prioritize the following to secure our clean energy future:

* Sufficiently fund the implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act, the strongest climate action ever taken in U.S. history 
 
* Secure strong federal rules and safeguards to reduce power plant pollution, a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions, and other pollutants that plague the health of all, especially disadvantaged communities 
 
* Prioritize increasing the adoption of and access to zero-emission electric vehicles and clean cars 
 
* Block new oil and gas drilling on our public lands and in our coastal waters, all while expanding clean energy

This is just a portion of what can and should be done on climate and clean energy. Even in the wake of Congress passing the Inflation Reduction Act, nearly two-thirds of the country - 62 percent - still want Washington to do more to fight climate change.

Please do your part to build a cleaner, healthier, and more equitable world for people everywhere by making climate action a top priority this year. Thank you.
