John -

The Federal Reserve needs leaders who will put people first during
economic and climate turmoil. We made that case as a movement, and in
response, President Biden nominated the most accomplished, and diverse
slate of experts in Fed history who will mitigate climate risks and center
equity.

But when it was time for the Senate Banking Committee to confirm these
nominees on Tuesday, every Republican seat was empty. Your senator,
Pat Toomey, decided to pull a stunt instead of doing
his job.

The people of Pennsylvania deserve a senator that doesn’t run from a
fight, even if they don’t think they can win. While we urge
Sen. Toomey to vote in favor of these highly-qualified
nominees, if he is determined to vote “no”
then he should at least have the courage to
show up and cast that vote.

[ [link removed] ]Can you write to Sen. Pat Toomey today urging
him to show up to the Senate and do
his job — make your case for or against the
nominees and cast your vote so we can move forward?

John,
confirming Sarah Bloom Raskin, Lisa Cook,
Philip Jefferson, and Lael Brainard is one of the best things we can do to
make sure the Federal Reserve takes the climate crisis seriously.

But because of Sarah Bloom Raskin’s record of climate leadership,
Republican senators are attempting to block the confirmation process for
all of the nominees.

These senators are obstructing the nominees who can get the Federal
Reserve on the right track on a wide range of issues. We won’t let things
get derailed any longer.

It’s up to the Senate to get these candidates confirmed, so we can center
equity as we work for a just economic recovery from the pandemic and reign
in the era of fossil fuels.

[ [link removed] ]Will you send a message to your senator today and demand they show up
and cast their vote? No more stunts.

In solidarity,

P.S. Once we get these nominees confirmed, we’re going to need to push the
Federal Reserve to take action to hold banks accountable. [ [link removed] ]If you’re
ready and willing to be part of the next phase of the #FossilFreeFed
campaign, will you join me for our strategy call next Thursday, February
24 at 4pm PT/7pm ET?
