We are ALL experiencing the impact of accelerating climate change — more intense storms, more extreme heat, uncontrollable fires, and rising sea levels which are threatening, and in some cases, already sinking our coastal communities.

Climate change is happening here and now. And we need to act now if we are going to address it within the timetable that Mother Nature dictates.

That's why President Biden's Build Back Better agenda includes robust support for actions to address climate change — and we must keep them in the plan. Failure to do so would be a dereliction of duty.

This is not the time for incrementalism. The clock is ticking and we're already way behind schedule. Add your name to stand with me and demand that any Build Back Better Budget that passes the House and the Senate include vital support for President Biden’s bold climate agenda.

The climate provisions in our Build Back Better legislation are critical to our future. They will help us avert the worst impact of catastrophic climate-related disasters — and will save lives. They should also ensure that the biggest polluters help pay to clean up their mess.

And addressing climate change is not only about preventing catastrophe; it is also about seizing the opportunity to create millions of good paying, homegrown clean energy jobs across our country as we work to cut greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030 and achieve net zero emissions by 2050.

I need your help to build a groundswell of public support for these critical climate provisions in our budget. We can't miss this opportunity to act. Please sign my petition to insist that the final Build Back Better legislation meet the climate goals set forth by President Biden.

The science is clear: if we don't act now it will be way too late.
