ASK CONGRESS FOR BOLD CLIMATE POLICY IN RECONCILIATION
It’s crunch time for national climate action!
The President, the Senate and the House have included big bold climate provisions in the Budget Reconciliation Package they are working on passing this fall.

Use the link below (from CCL) to contact your Senators asking them to enact bold climate policies including a price on carbon in the Reconciliation Package:

TALK TO A FRIEND ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE
Right now, you can do something that many climate experts say is the single most effective thing you can do to fight climate change. It costs nothing, requires only a few minutes, and just requires a bit of courage to try. Talk to a friend or family member about climate change. Talk about why you care, and what actions you are taking. Talk to someone who is concerned about climate change to some extent. You do not need to talk with a climate denier: climate scientist Dr. Katherine Hayhoe says “The biggest challenge isn’t science denial, it’s complacency.”
