John -

In one week from today, the Senate Banking Committee will vote on our
slate of five candidates for the Federal Reserve. Then they head to the
full Senate for a vote.

With the Senate narrowly split between Democrats and Republicans, the
votes will likely be close. That’s why we need to drive as many messages
to our senators as possible to ensure that these nominees are confirmed by
the full Senate.

We feel pretty confident with our odds,
John, but we can’t leave anything
up to chance. Your senators need to be on board, which is why we’re asking
if you can step up today and send a message to their offices.

[ [link removed] ]Can you send a message to Sen. Bob Casey today urging them to vote yes
on these nominees so we can bring new climate champions to the Federal
Reserve?

→ Here’s what you’re sending ←

“Hi, my name is John and I am your constituent from
Philadelphia. I am writing to ask the Senator to confirm President
Biden’s nominees to the Federal Reserve Board.

We need experienced leaders like Lael Brainard, Sarah Bloom Raskin, Lisa
Cook, and Philip Jefferson at the Federal Reserve. These are people who
care about families and communities like mine, take climate change
seriously, and can tackle real issues we’re facing like racial and
economic injustice.

President Biden made the right choice by picking these highly qualified
nominees who will bring experience, diversity, and expertise to the Fed.
Please confirm these Fed nominees when they go before the Senate.”

- John

After the vote in the Banking Committee on February 15, the full Senate
confirmation will likely take place in March.

While some Republicans are busy spreading lies and attacking the nominees
for taking climate and economic justice seriously, our movement must step
up to counter their misinformation.^1

With your help, we can secure these nominees and continue to elevate the
responsibility of the Federal Reserve to mitigate climate risks and center
equity as we work for a just economic recovery from the pandemic.

[ [link removed] ]We need a fully functional Federal Reserve that is able to tackle both
our current economic and climate crises. Please contact your senators
today and together, we can get there.

We’ll keep you posted about the outcome of the vote and other ways you can
support.
