President Biden - declare a climate emergency!
The climate crisis is already changing life as we know it. Devastating climate impacts are displacing millions of people each year, and shredding the fabric of our communities, lands, air, waters, wildlife our ecosystems. Meanwhile, the fossil fuel industry continues to extract, exploit, and delay.

Declaring a Climate Emergency would be the beginning of the end to the era of fossil fuels and climate destruction. By using his executive powers, President Biden can repair the harm caused by environmental racism and deliver good-paying union jobs, justice, and clean energy for all.

Climate emergency effects us all. In the US and around the world, Black, Brown, Indigenous, and poor people are the first to feel the impacts of fossil fuel extraction and predatory exploitation. By declaring a Climate Emergency, President Biden can utilize the “whole-of-government approach” to begin solving the biggest existential threat that we have ever faced.

Add your name to tell President Biden to declare a national Climate Emergency. Your name will be pooled with (hopefully) millions of Americans across the county. DEADLINE JULY 29 - SIGN TODAY.

Here's the actual letter:

Dear President Biden,

The climate crisis is out of control and you can act to address it. At risk is, simply, a livable future. If we continue down the fossil-fueled path we're on, it will spell disaster for both people and the planet.

We the undersigned Montanans implore you to use your executive powers to declare a CLIMATE EMERGENCY. By declaring a national climate emergency, you can actualize the “whole-of-government approach” you promised on the campaign trail to address the biggest existential crisis we’ve ever faced. This administration must address the climate emergency and protect communities in the Gulf threatened by the buildout of new export terminals by using the authority granted by Congress to reinstate the ban on crude oil exports. Declaring a national climate emergency will allow you to kick start a managed phase-out of fossil fuels and a transition to renewable energy, and to launch a jobs stimulus package that secures good-paying union jobs for workers in these communities.

Thank You
