Urge Your Senator to Demand Meaningful Changes to the Permitting Bill

We urge Senators to fight for meaningful changes to the permitting bill.

Dear Senator, Rushing passage of the “Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act” will severely limit the opportunity to amend the bill’s most troubling provisions. -Eroding Tribal sovereignty -Taking away people’s right to have a say in what’s built in their communities -Fast-tracking permitting for data centers on public lands, and -Abandoning clean water and wildlife protections for states, This comes at a time when the Trump administration has unambiguously confirmed that it would continue to block clean energy projects, limiting the impact of any of the bill’s positive provisions. I cannot allow any curtailing of any meaningful debate on this bill. Please fight for amendments to make meaningful changes to the permitting bill. Without meaningful changes, I urge you to oppose the bill. We cannot rush legislation that ignores voters' clear and decisive calls for corporate accountability, affordability, and health and safety for our communities. I urge you to hear that mandate, deliver relief on energy bills, and level the playing field for clean energy. We can and must fight for a better deal. Thank you for your consideration.
