John,
The United States is a top contributor to fossil fuel production,
subsequently marking the nation as one of the core drivers of the ongoing
climate emergency.^1
The climate crisis is a Code Red emergency, and we need leaders to take
serious action now. This is why we’re demanding President Biden use his
power to:
* Declare climate change as a national emergency under the National
Emergencies Act (NEA) and advance the end of the fossil fuel era.
* Declare climate change as a national emergency under the Stafford Act
and re-imagine FEMA to be an engine of the just and equitable energy
transition.
* Redirect all agency funds towards renewable energy and away from
fossil fuels to build back fossil-free in impacted communities.
* Establish high labor standards to protect workers against extreme
heat, wildfire smoke, and other climate emergencies through strong
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations.

The past four years of Biden’s presidency have shown that fossil fuel
corporations and their lobbyists can and will hold back vital legislation
to fight the climate crisis. President Biden has the power to make a lot
of progress in this fight with just one stroke of a pen — and that’s why
we need your help to apply pressure on Biden to follow through with his
campaign promises.
Instead of wasting the dollars of taxpayers and utility ratepayers on
outdated and costly fossil fuels, we must invest trillions of dollars in
renewable energy and transportation, green union jobs, and climate
justice. The renewable energy transition must be grounded in justice
including the Free, Prior, and Informed Consent of Indigenous Peoples to
redress the climate, racial, socioeconomic, and ecological injustices of
the fossil fuel era.
The climate crisis is already here and getting worse right before our
eyes. We’re urging President Biden to declare a climate emergency before
it’s too late. [ [link removed] ]If you’re ready to fight with us, please make a

communities and we need your support to ramp up the movement.
