Dear MoveOn member,
You don't need to hear from MoveOn that there's a climate emergency. You see that in the headlines and all around you every day. But almost nobody is talking about the fact that the biggest climate legislation in U.S. history is being hotly debated in Congress right now (like today! this very moment!), and it urgently needs all of us to weigh in and help it pass.
President Biden's Build Back Better Agenda includes historic investments in clean energy, resiliency, green jobs, and green infrastructure—making it America's most significant investment in confronting our climate crisis.1 And President Biden has mandated that the communities with the least wiggle room to absorb climate chaos get an equitable infusion of these funds. There are members of Congress ready to go to the mat for these provisions, seeing this reconciliation bill as our best chance to take action. And there are also members of the House and Senate—mostly Republicans, but a few Democrats too—looking to strip these provisions in service of Big Oil, other fossil fuel polluters, and their lobbyists.
Right now, this bill could go either way—which is why it's essential members of Congress hear from us NOW to know their constituents prioritize climate and want them to prioritize it as well.
We know that confronting the climate crisis is an all-hands-on-deck effort. Corporations, local governments, and international partners must all to take action. And we need the United States government to help lead the way.
As we see images from around the globe confirming that the crisis is here, as we see the damage done and the enormity of the human and financial cost, we know we can't wait.
Build Back Better is an important step—and more than at almost any other time, we could actually see Congress act because of the nature of the reconciliation vote, which requires only Democrats, and because of the urgency of this issue, which poll after poll shows is a concern for Americans from all walks of life.
Let's seize this rare opportunity amidst the crisis. We can act—and in doing so, compel Congress to act—and together work on behalf of our future. Send your letter today.
Thanks for all you do.
