Demand Congress Stand Up To Trump and Make Fighting Climate Change a Top Priority
- by: WWF
- recipient: Your Senator
On June 1, as the world looked on, President Trump announced he was withdrawing the United States from the landmark Paris Agreement – the world's first truly global plan to curb climate change.
At the heart of the Paris Agreement, which was signed by nearly 200 nations, is the fundamental goal of reducing greenhouse gas pollution and keeping global warming within 2 degrees of current temperatures.
It is also a blueprint for cooperation, political stability, and job creation. Our clean energy economy is booming, employing more than 3.3 million Americans. Withdrawing our support from the Paris Agreement not only undermines US credibility regarding foreign affairs, it will also put a safer and more prosperous future further out of reach.
Fortunately, Congress has the ability to keep us on a path of climate action. But they must hear from us now. We must demand they show courage and leadership.
The eyes of the world are on us and the future of the planet hangs in the balance.
Send your message today. Tell your member of Congress: I support the Paris Agreement and expect you to make fighting climate change a top priority.

Dear Senator,
I am deeply disappointed in President Trump’s decision to withdraw the United States from the Paris Agreement.
The Paris Agreement is a blueprint for cooperation, political stability, and job creation. Our clean energy economy is booming, employing more than 3.3 million Americans. Withdrawing our support from the Paris Agreement not only undermines US credibility regarding foreign affairs, it will also put a safer and more prosperous future further out of reach.
With American businesses, communities, mayors, and governors supporting the Paris Agreement, the US government's continued participation is crucial to meeting long-term global efforts around climate change. This is a time to stand by our commitments, deliver on our promises, and promote the economic opportunities of clean energy, not back away from progress.
You have the ability to keep us on a path of climate action. As your constituent, I support the Paris Agreement and demand that you please make fighting climate change a top priority.
