But this bill is not perfect. It will simultaneously inflict serious harm on communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis & keep us on a path to fossil fuels by investing in gas pipelines & authorizing more fossil fuel leasing. (2/6)
Under the leadership of frontline communities, people power has helped pressure legislative action toward climate justice. The Inflation Reduction Act, up for a vote this week, will invest in renewable energy & help Americans save money on energy bills. (1/6)
I'm calling on Congress to #LEADonClimate because the transition to affordable, secure, and domestic clean energy will help:
✅ Create jobs and spur innovation
✅ Strengthen supply chains and reduce costs
✅ Deliver environmental justice

We will not deny we are in another dark moment, yet we will not surrender. And we will not give up hope. #StopLine3
As fires burn, oceans rise and cities flood, we’re mobilizing to Washington D.C. to demand that President Biden act on climate justice right now.
Join us in D.C. October 11-15.
During a week when there's a whole lot of talk about the climate, important not to lose sight of the fact that we know what needs to happen -- we just need the political will to do it. #StopLine3
The science is clear. To avoid the worst impacts of the climate crisis, we need to divest from fossil fuels & invest in renewable energy. Join us in calling on President Biden to #StopLine3 & keep his commitment to be “The Climate President.” #ClimateWeek https://t.co/3L0X4qZKDc
The Line 3 oil pipeline expansion poses dangers to climate, water, and vulnerable tribal communities today and for generations to come.
Hold the line. Tell President Biden to #StopLine3 and keep fossil fuels in the ground: https://t.co/zabaGEeAwo
Way to go Vermont! Universal vote by mail means safe, secure, and accessible voting for all eligible voters. Climate progress requires a democracy where we can all participate. A win for Democracy is a win for climate.
We cannot say enough good things about Rahwa Ghirmatzion. Take a look at the conversation with her about the Climate & Community Investment Act (CCIA) happening in NY right now. And support the CCIA by texting 'CCIA' to 40649.
