Who's really raising your energy bills?

Today is International Workers' Day, also known as May Day. And this year, the connection between workers' rights, energy costs, and a clean future has never been clearer -- or more
urgent.
Make your voice heard. Tell Congress to choose people over polluters and fight for trade policies that protect working people, families, farmers, and our environment. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.

Dear John,
On the campaign trail, Trump openly offered to do the oil and gas industry's bidding in exchange for campaign contributions. The industry delivered. So has Trump.1,2
Since day one, this administration has canceled and halted clean energy projects, rolled back efficiency standards, opened the door to expanded oil and gas extraction, and gutted the
agencies that protect workers and families from pollution.
Trump has made it clear that his foreign policy, including the war in Iran, is shaped by oil and gas companies' interests. He's gone as far as to say, "when oil prices go up, we make
a lot of money."
The result? Our electricity rates rose nearly 13 percent nationally. And while prices have skyrocketed, wages have stagnated for all but the top wealthiest Americans. Too many of our
families are now forced to choose between keeping the lights on and paying for food, rent, and healthcare. At the same time, fossil fuel executives are celebrating record profits.
Even worse, the trade deals being negotiated right now could lock in this rigged system -- protecting oil and gas industry profits while leaving workers behind.
This May Day, we are standing with workers, with families, and with everyone who believes we can build a better future together.
By investing in clean energy instead of outdated fossil fuels, we can protect our air, water, and climate. We can lower our families' energy bills. And we can create safe, good-paying
jobs in communities that have been left behind.
We've seen what happens when we fight back -- in the first weeks of this administration, calls to Congress rose 3,900 percent. Protests like No Kings have seen record turnout, with our
numbers growing by the millions for each mobilization. The cracks are starting to show, with Trump's approval ratings now reaching their lowest point of his second term.

If we continue to act collectively, we can build the power we need to create an economy that is set up for working people -- not billionaires and corporate polluters. Start today by
advocating for trade policies that protect workers.
This May Day, tell Congress to invest in a clean energy future that will protect our climate, lower bills, create jobs, and put people over polluters. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=ABB7InYi
