Tell Joe Biden YOU Support a 100 Percent Clean Energy Future

Climate change is the greatest challenge facing the United States and the world over the next decade and beyond.

President Biden promised net-zero emissions by no later than 2050 and more than 10 million well-paying jobs to support a clean energy economy. He promised to fight climate change on both a national and global scale. And he promised to commit to environmental justice for communities--many of whom are communities of color--who have long suffered from a toxic legacy of pollution.

Make sure President Biden knows YOU support prioritizing a 100 percent clean energy future. Act now!

We must take this key moment to tell the world that a clean energy future--one focused on protecting workers and environmental justice--is not only achievable, it is also the baseline for protecting our planet and its people for future generations.

DO NOT USE Joe

DO NOT USE Biden

Dear President Biden,

I am writing today to support your mission toward a 100 percent clean future by 2050. We need a future that focuses on protecting workers and advancing environmental justice. The costs of global inaction are increasing daily.

In October 2018, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change issued a stark appraisal of the latest climate science: Humanity has only three decades to completely reinvent the global economy in order to eliminate net greenhouse gas pollution and hold global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels.

The differences in the consequences between the previous target of 2 degrees and the new target of 1.5 degrees of global warming are startling, including deadlier and more frequent billion-dollar extreme weather disasters, like hurricanes, heatwaves, and wildfires; greater harm to food and water supplies; major and potentially irreversible loss of ecosystems, such as the world's fragile coral reefs; a higher rate of sea level rise; and irreparable loss or collapse of ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland.

Every year of continued emissions threatens destruction that can never be undone.

I urge you to maintain your commitment to a 100 percent clean future for the benefit of all.

Sincerely,
