Why I'm partnering with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez & Bernie Sanders:
The problem is straightforward: climate change is threatening all life on Earth.
There are many parts of the solution, and everyone's going to have to pitch in, but the first step for our federal government is simple: we must declare a national emergency right now.
That's why I drafted a resolution and partnered with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders to push back on this insanity. We're introducing my resolution in both the House and the Senate so that Congress recognizes climate change for what it is: an emergency requiring immediate and aggressive action.
Join our movement: sign the petition and urge Congress to make climate change a national emergency.
We can't wait. Each day Donald Trump and his allies deny climate science and refuse to act is another day it becomes harder to fix.
Without an immediate, dramatic response, we will experience irreversible and catastrophic changes to global human health, quality of life, food security, access to clean air and drinking water, and our economy.
In the face of presidential inaction, Congress must mobilize all available resources to tackle this crisis now. Sign the petition and join our movement.
The good news? Acting on climate change is a win on all fronts; it'll supercharge the economy for working people, improve our communities' health, and ensure a sustainable habitat for future generations.
We must get this done. Now.
Courage,
Earl
