RE: Clean energy and good paying jobs

We have a NARROW window to pass a strong, long-term recovery package our communities and our climate need. Write to your lawmakers now! [Add your name to the NRDC Action Fund's petition and tell Congress: Fix aging infrastructure, create good-paying jobs, and fight climate change!]( [SIGN YOUR NAME]( --------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Friend, The first 100 days of Joe Biden’s presidency are almost over — and the need to invest in our communities has never been greater. Climate change is here, our nation’s infrastructure is crumbling, and it’s Black, brown, Indigenous, and low-income communities who disproportionately bear the brunt of the consequences of our government’s inaction. Friend, as the country continues to reel from COVID-19, we have a very narrow window of opportunity to pass a comprehensive recovery package that will determine the shape of this country’s future — and it’s up to us to demand it. [Sign now and tell Congress: Pass a strong, long-term recovery package that gets our economy back on track, fights the climate crisis, invests in our communities, and ushers in a healthy, equitable clean energy future. Send lawmakers a message! >>]( [SIGN NOW]( A strong recovery package will: - Fix our aging electricity, water, and transit infrastructure and create millions of good-paying jobs by modernizing our electric grid to move cheaper, cleaner energy to where it’s needed most — and avoid disasters like the massive power outage in Texas that caused more than 100 preventable deaths - Deliver clean, affordable drinking water to every home in America by eliminating lead pipes and service lines and reducing toxic chemicals - Drastically slow climate change and reduce pollution by increasing wind and solar energy and investing in energy efficiency in every sector of our economy, and stop tax breaks and giveaways to fossil fuel companies The Biden administration and Congress have already acted to rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement, reverse some of Donald Trump’s most harmful anti-climate policies, and pass the American Rescue Act, which is already helping millions of people impacted by COVID-19. And earlier this month, Biden introduced the landmark American Jobs Plan, which will create millions of good-paying jobs by rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure and speeding up the transition to a clean energy economy. Now it’s up to Congress to move that recovery plan forward. But we’re up against some serious opposition in Washington. Big Oil and their allies in Congress want to keep us addicted to toxic fossil fuels, and Mitch McConnell will do whatever he can to thwart any project that jeopardizes the profits of fossil fuel CEOs.
