Tell President Biden: Take steps towards abolishing fossil fuels and prioritize an equitable transition to clean energy -- now!

Dependence on fossil fuels is a drain on our health, our economy, and our environment. With cost effective, reliable renewable energy sources like wind and solar power, and improving technologies like battery storage we can affordably replace dirty and dangerous energy. Fossil fuels are no longer necessary to deliver the abundant energy we’ve come to rely on.

Take action now! Tell President Biden to use these last few months in office to pave the way for a just, thriving future by taking immediate steps to abolish fossil fuels. This includes revoking the Presidential permit for the Line 5 pipeline, directing the Army Corps to reject the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL), and stopping the expansion of gas exports.

Under your leadership, your administration has recorded the biggest climate and environmental wins in history, with transformative investments made in clean energy and over 300 actions that will protect the environment for future generations. Thank you for all that you have done for our country and the planet.

Now, as you near the end of your administration, we call on you to use these last few months to do everything in your power to continue paving the way for a just, thriving future:

This includes:
-Take concrete steps to move our reliance away from fossil fuels while prioritizing a fair and just transition for workers toward a clean-energy economy that works for all. 
- Build off the momentum of the Inflation Reduction Act and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to continue creating good-paying, unionized jobs.
- Prioritize racial and environmental justice by ending sacrifice zones, and residential areas exposed to high levels of pollution and environmental hazards. 
- Stop fossil fuel projects: Revoke the Presidential permit for the Line 5 pipeline, direct the Army Corps to reject the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL), and stop the expansion of gas exports.

With current renewable energy technology, fossil fuels are no longer necessary to deliver the abundant energy we've come to rely on.

Countries as dissimilar as Costa Rica, Namibia, and Norway are now getting almost all their electricity from renewable sources. The tides are turning and the U.S. must join this movement where so often we lag behind or falter.

The movement for climate justice is a movement for intergenerational justice. We seek to be good future ancestors by preserving the best of today for eras still to come. We urge you to continue to solidify your legacy as a strong environmental leader with the courage to take bold action for the protection of generations to come!
