Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton were a devastating one-two punch. More than 250 people are dead and nearly a hundred are still missing.1,2
The climate crisis is supercharging hurricanes, and will only make them more powerful, more frequent, and more deadly. That's why we need action now before things can get any worse.
President Biden has the power to declare a climate emergency today, and secure the resources needed to keep people safe and transition to renewable energy — regardless of what happens on Election Day.
The recent hurricanes left entire towns destroyed in their wake. Millions of people are looking to our government to provide resources, support, and solutions during this very difficult time.
And, there's still a month left of a hurricane season that experts warned would be "extraordinary."3 But this loss and destruction doesn't have to become our new normal.
President Biden holds the power to meet this moment with the urgency and seriousness it deserves by declaring a climate emergency.
It's not just lip service — by declaring a climate emergency, he can marshal real resources to keep people safe during extreme climate-related events and to put us on a path toward a clean energy future. And most importantly, he can do it right now and put in place real protections — regardless of the outcome of November's election.
With you on our side, we can drown out the Big Oil lobbyists in D.C. with our calls for true climate justice. Our call for climate action must be impossible to ignore. That's why we're collecting signatures to petition President Biden to treat climate change as the urgent threat it is.
Add your name to our petition today to demand that President Biden declare a climate emergency.
Together,
Team 350
