Fighting climate change is more urgent than ever. <http://image.emails.sierraclub.org/lib/fe8f1372746d007871/m/22/1a6411f1-d430-4730-a89c-6df5a08e58b0.png> It's hard to stomach the scale of devastation in Los Angeles. More high winds are expected today. While the death toll rises, Republicans are getting ready to gut the clean energy programs intended to fight climate change so that corporations can make more profit. This is unconscionable. Tell Congress: Protect our future, don't cut climate programs! Call 1-855-980-2349 <tel:1-855-980-2349> Dear John, Climate change is razing communities in Los Angeles to the ground. 24 lives have already been lost. Thousands of people have had their homes and businesses destroyed, and even more are suffering through choking smoke, wracked with fear for loved ones while living through apocalyptic conditions. This is a heartbreaking reminder of the urgency of our situation. These unnatural disasters are a direct result of climate change, and our communities will continue to be vulnerable to this kind of devastation unless we change course. The Biden Administration invested billions of dollars in clean energy and climate action in the last few years. These programs are reducing emissions and creating good jobs, while saving everyday people money on energy costs. But what do Trump and Republicans in Congress want to do? Slash these programs to pay for tax cuts for billionaires and big corporations. We can't let that happen. Call 1-855-980-2349 <tel:1-855-980-2349> to tell your Representative to protect climate and clean energy programs. When you call 1-855-980-2349 <tel:1-855-980-2349> , you'll hear a brief message and then be connected to your district's representative in WA. The good news is, we have a real shot at stopping this. These programs are popular across blue and red states -- it turns out no one wants to give corporations tax cuts so that everyday Americans have to pay for more energy bills and lose out on jobs created by clean energy. As Republicans take charge of Washington, we must do everything we can to protect our jobs, communities, and future -- and that means protecting these climate and clean energy programs. Call 1-855-980-2349 <tel:1-855-980-2349> to tell your Representative to preserve climate and clean energy programs Misinformation is running wild right now, but here are the facts: * Climate change is making unnatural disasters more frequent and extreme. The wildfires in Los Angeles -- made worse by extremely high winds, prolonged drought, and higher temperatures -- are making that horribly clear. * Oil and gas CEOs have known about climate change for decades. They poured millions of dollars into deceiving the public and buying out politicians to block action on climate, so they could continue raking in huge profits. * It's not too late. We are not powerless. Every tenth of a degree of warming we avoid will make an enormous difference in what our future looks like. We need to do everything we can to hold corporate polluters accountable and speed up the transition towards clean energy. Call 1-855-980-2349 <tel:1-855-980-2349> If Trump gets his way, climate funding will be gutted to pay for tax cuts for billionaires and big corporations. Your Representative needs to hear from their constituents that we don't want them to raise energy taxes, kill local jobs, and make climate change worse. Call 1-855-980-2349 <tel:1-855-980-2349> and tell the office your name, where you live, and that you want them to protect the Inflation Reduction Act's clean energy programs, which are fighting climate change, lowering energy bills, and strengthening the economy in our state.
