[ NRDC ]NRDC Action Fund All In for Climate Action

Dear NRDC Action Fund Activist,

Big news: After initially rejecting the idea, the Democratic National
Committee is considering a dedicated presidential debate about climate
change for the first time ever.

The DNC will vote later this week on whether to hold this urgently-needed
climate debate. This is an unprecedented opportunity to make climate
change the #1 issue in the 2020 presidential race, and for our planet's
sake, we can't afford to waste it.

Starting now, we must do everything we can to show DNC chair Tom Perez and
the members of the committee how critical it is that they hold this debate
— can you help us turn up the pressure?

Dear DNC Chair Tom Perez,

I know you care deeply about our growing climate crisis, so I urge you to
schedule a dedicated Democratic presidential debate on climate change
immediately.

Climate change action is the top issue for Democratic voters. It affects
everything in our lives, from the places we live to the water we drink to
the air we breathe. The public deserves to know the candidates' policy
positions on these life-or-death issues — and whether they are committed
to taking the bold action that we need to fight this crisis.

Hundreds of thousands of Americans across the country have demanded a
climate debate, and at least 15 Democratic presidential candidates have
agreed to participate. Time is running out for our planet, and we must put
this issue on the national political stage as quickly as we can. We need
the time to hear detailed answers about each candidate's climate change
and clean energy policies, and we need it now.

Thank you.

You and I both know that climate change is the central environmental
challenge of our time — today's scientists point to it as the biggest
global health threat of the 21st century. It's an existential threat that
impacts all of us — and vulnerable groups like children, the elderly,
low-income communities, and communities of color often bear the brunt of
the consequences.

Yet the climate crisis did not get nearly the airtime it needed during the
first presidential primary debates on CNN and NBC earlier this summer.
It's time for a dedicated conversation on this issue where we can hear
from each candidate on their climate change and clean energy policies.

That's why hundreds of thousands of activists — and most of the
presidential candidates themselves — have urged the DNC to give this issue
the attention it deserves, forcing the committee to reconsider its
opposition to a dedicated climate debate.

This progress shows that when we collectively raise our voices, we can
change decisions made in Washington.

[ [link removed] ]So let's continue pushing. The urgency of this moment is so
crucial that we've made it as quick and easy as possible to take action —
click here to automatically sign on to our open letter to Tom Perez, and
we'll deliver your signature at the DNC headquarters.

Thank you for taking action.

Sincerely,
