Friend,
This Earth Day, we’re asking our
community to advocate for the American Jobs Plan,
an ambitious piece of legislation that will spur
historic investments in clean energy
jobs.
If passed, the American Jobs Plan would be one
of the most significant pieces of climate
legislation in U.S. history — and we have the
power to pressure Congress to ensure the final
bill is bold enough to meet the moment.
The coming weeks will determine the details of
the final version of the bill, and we can’t allow
Republicans and corporate interests to water this
down. Help us keep up the pressure on the
Democratic majority to go big on revitalizing our
infrastructure and creating clean energy jobs.
Tell
your members of Congress to pass the American Jobs
Plan to fully invest in much-needed infrastructure
and development of our clean energy economy to
address the climate crisis.
The American Jobs Plan will rebuild our
nation’s transit systems, modernize our electric
grid, repair and replace outdated water pipes, and
expand access to high-speed broadband.
But the legislation goes even further. It
would:
- Create a new Civilian Climate Corps to train
and hire thousands to restore public lands and
improve climate resilience for frontline
communities
- Accelerate decarbonization by implementing a
national clean energy standard to get us to 100
percent carbon-free power by 2035
- Replace all lead pipes and service lines to
ensure everyone has access to safe drinking
water
- Eliminate tax subsidies for fossil fuel
corporations and make polluters pay to clean up
their messes
- Retrofit and construct houses, businesses,
and public buildings to enhance energy
efficiency
- Incentivize electric vehicles by boosting
rebates and tax credits for consumers and
expanding charging stations nationwide
Urge
Congress to move forward with the American Jobs
Plan so we can get millions back to work by
rebuilding our outdated infrastructure and
transitioning to 100 percent clean energy.
Thank you,
