Re: Biden continues to approve fossil fuel projects despite verbal commitment to climate goals (please read)

Friend, drilling on [public lands](, the construction of Minnesota's [Line 3]( tar sands pipeline, and construction of the [Mountain Valley Pipeline](: Despite the global call to phase out fossil fuels to combat climate change, the Biden administration has continued to approve massive fossil fuel projects that worsen the crisis. [Sign the petition to President Biden: Declare climate an emergency under the National Emergencies Act and stop the federal approval of all new fossil fuel projects.]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( By declaring climate an emergency under the National Emergencies Act, the Biden administration would have the ability to reinstate the crude oil export ban, justly end new fossil fuel projects and drilling, redirect disaster relief funds toward distributed renewable energy construction in frontline communities, and marshal companies to fast-track renewable transportation and clean power generation. All while creating millions of high-quality union jobs. Now, more than ever, we need to use every tool in our arsenal to fight for a livable, equitable future. The Biden administration must act before it’s too late.

On Sunday, ahead of the UN climate summit, tens of thousands [marched]( across the country, demanding an end to global warming-causing fossil fuels. We march because we are falling short–and that’s very dangerous. [Sign the petition: President Biden must take climate action now!]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( To address the looming global catastrophe of climate change, the United Nations is calling on global leaders to phase out fossil fuels, the leading driver of the climate crisis. However, despite President Biden’s verbal commitment to climate goals, his administration has and continues to approve massive fossil fuel projects. We cannot afford to continue our reliance on fossil fuels. President Biden can and must declare a climate an emergency under the National Emergencies Act. That would give us the ability to reinstate the crude oil export ban, end new fossil fuel projects and drilling, redirect disaster relief funds toward distributed renewable energy construction in frontline communities, and marshal companies to fast-track renewable transportation and clean power generation. Biden also has the power to deny approvals for any new fossil fuel projects, and mandate a phase out of fossil fuel production on federal lands and waters—two critical steps that are vital to staying under the global warming limit necessary to avert the most devastating climate catastrophes. Join us and demand President Biden put an end to the era of fossil fuels and invest in a clean and sustainable future for all.
