🌎 We can turn this around!
We are the first generation to feel the impact of climate change and the last generation that can do something about it. - Former President Barack Obama
***Outage notice. It appears all letter campaigns have been restored on Action Network. Petitions are also working. Thanks for your support.***
In America, no matter our color, background or zip code, we value our freedoms. And we will hold MAGA Republicans and MAGA Supreme Court Justices accountable for defaulting on, defrauding, and destabilizing America. Together, we can realize a democracy that represents, reflects, and responds to all of us.
If you are still on the sidelines, now is the time to speak out and show up. Every day, we have a choice: we can remain quiet and complicit, or we can speak up and stand up for freedom over fascism. Homebound? No funds? No problem! We all have a voice, and we can use it. Our grassroots group provides easy-to-do calls-to-actions like letter writing, petitions, and more to empower you to speak up and show up. I believe in the power of the people. I have seen the love and determination of folks stepping up for our democracy. And this past week, I saw People Power showing up! We took thousands of actions this past week alone!
Our planet is on fire!
I know you are all speaking out and championing the rights and freedoms of all in our community; keep up the excellent work! We need to champion clean air and water every second of every day.
We must act now to halt the worst-case scenario for the future of our planet while we still have the chance. But we're up against powerful interests. The Supreme Court hindered our ability to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. Fossil fuel companies spend millions lobbying Congress and shuffling blame for climate change from producers to consumers with deceptive advertising. Big Oil is determined to protect profits, even if they burn the planet down in the process.
🌎 We can turn this around!
The Biden administration needs to take urgent and sweeping steps to confront the climate crisis. This includes declaring a national emergency under the National Emergencies Act, reinstating the crude oil export ban, ceasing new fossil fuel projects and drilling, and redirecting disaster relief funds to support distributed renewable energy construction in frontline communities.
Additionally, Congress must pass laws to help fight the climate crisis. We should take swift action to promote the growth of renewable energy sources and green technologies, resulting in job opportunities for millions of union workers. Furthermore, we should discontinue providing subsidies and tax exemptions to fossil fuel industries that are exacerbating the issue.

What can President Biden accomplish with the Q doing everything they can to inhibit him? Why hasn't he done so already? I really thought we needed to defeat Stinky an his minions before The President can do much of anything. Not true?
