Dial 202-951-7780 to reach your Senators and Representative.
When someone picks up, you can use the sample below but it will be even more impactful if you use your own words and add your own reasons for demanding action on climate change.
Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME] and I’m calling from [YOUR CITY/TOWN] because I’m very concerned about climate change. [ADD YOUR OWN REASONS HERE - THIS COULD BE THINGS LIKE “I WANT MY KIDS/GRANDKIDS TO INHERIT A HEALTHY PLANET” or “WE LIVE IN AN AREA WHERE WILDFIRES ARE BECOMING AN ANNUAL THREAT” “THE ICE STORM LAST WINTER DISRUPTED OUR LIVES FOR WEEKS AND COST $XXX IN REPAIRS”]
I’m calling to ask the [Senator/Representative] to support big, bold climate action that invests at the scale of the crisis. There are four very important things I believe need to be part of any climate legislation:
Creating a Clean Electricity Payment Program that cuts pollution and modernizes our grid.
Directing 40% of funding to frontline communities.
Ending subsidies for fossil fuel corporations.
Starting a Civilian Climate Corps that puts people to work.
We’re already living with the early stages of climate change and now is the time we must take bold action to prevent things from getting much worse. There’s no time to waste.
Thank you for taking the time to listen and pass my requests along to the [Senator/Representative].
3. Don’t hang up! Press * then do the same thing for your second Senator, then do it a third and final time for your Representative.
4. Then fill out the form on the right to let us know how your call went and pat yourself on the back for being part of the solution! It feels good to do something, doesn’t it?
What we need to do to stop climate change:
Enact a Clean Electricity Payment Program that gets us on the path to 100% clean power by 2035 by building wind and solar at a record pace, as the current administration has pledged to do. This will cut pollution and modernize our grid.
Direct 40% of funding to frontline communities, to realize environmental justice in communities of color. Investments in environmental justice communitieswho are hurt first and worst include targeted funding for renewable energy, energy efficiency, public transit, clean water infrastructure, clean and affordable housing…and much more!
End fossil fuel subsidies, which the federal government spends $15 billion on directly every year—and hundreds of billions on indirectly. No more federal money for fossil fuels!
Create a Civilian Climate Corps that employs millions of Americans, creates a pathway into good paying union jobs and the clean energy workforce we need.
