To: Incoming U.S. Congress
Dear Congressional Leaders,
We are deeply concerned about attacks on our climate, clean air, and water. Already, the climate crisis is fueling more and more extreme weather, with devastating consequences for communities like mine across the country, and the science points to even more catastrophic impacts if we fail to rein in pollution.
That's why we stand firmly behind climate and health policies, from cutting dangerous pollution to accelerating the country's transition to clean energy, all while boosting the economy, creating jobs, and investing in local communities.
Now is not the time to turn our back on the problem!
If and when President Trump joins with polluters in attacking climate solutions, we need you to stand strong for climate! Undoing these popular climate policies will compromise the health and safety of our communities, hurt the economy, leave us more vulnerable to increasingly intense and frequent extreme weather events, and jeopardize our nation's ability to achieve our climate goals.
The human, financial, and infrastructure costs of extreme weather events are a painful reminder of the urgent work that still needs to be done to tackle the climate crisis. We cannot reverse course now. We refuse to let polluters and their allies define our futures.
We remain steadfast in defense of our climate and oppose any attacks on climate and health policies.
Sincerely,
[Name]
