The Stakes Are Clear. The Time Is Now.
Across America, the climate crisis is no longer a distant threat; it's hitting home. Wildfires are destroying neighborhoods and burning millions of acres. Hurricanes are intensifying. Floods are swallowing communities. Historic droughts and record-breaking heat are straining our farms and food supplies, our energy infrastructure, and our families' budgets. Every American is paying the price for inaction — in lives lost, homes destroyed, and costs that won’t stop climbing.
Meanwhile, the Trump Administration is making things worse. By blocking wind and solar projects, propping up fossil fuels, rolling back climate protections, and treating Americans' health as expendable, they are choosing polluters over people — and science denial over truth.
We cannot afford to wait.
2027 is a pivotal year for climate action. The decisions made in the coming months will determine whether we avert the worst of what's coming or lock in decades of damage our children will inherit.
That's why we, the undersigned, urge our leaders in Congress, to act with the urgency this moment demands:
- Make climate and clean energy your top legislative priority in the new Congress convening in January.
- Advance bold action that meaningfully cuts climate pollution, accelerates the clean energy transition, and protects vulnerable communities on the front lines of this crisis.
- Use the full power of Congressional oversight to hold polluters and their allies in the administration accountable for the damage they are causing.
- Stand up for science and for the Americans whose lives and livelihoods depend on leaders who will.
The climate crisis will not wait. We are asking you to meet this moment. We urge you to take every necessary step in your power to tackle the climate crisis.
Petition will be delivered to: U.S. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
