Call on the Biden-Harris Administration to Take Urgent Action for the Amazon! - Amazon Watch

Last year, deforestation there reached a 12-year high, driven by criminal arson and encouraged by government policy.

Tell Your Legislator to Make Climate a Priority the Legislative Session

Tell Your Legislator to Make Climate a Priority the Legislative Session: With the end of the 2021 Minnesota Legislative session less than six weeks away, our lawmakers are considering a number of different proposals that would have an impact on our environment and our climate. We are encouraging you to contact your legislator about two of these proposals in particular. *Encourage your legislator to oppose efforts to revoke the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's authority to regulate auto emissions. If passed, this would stop Clean Cars MN which the governor has championed and limit further attempts to limit pollution from the transportation sector. *Support efforts to transition MN to 100% Clean Electricity by 2040. We know that together we can transition to a clean energy economy and this proposal would help our state do that.

Tell Congress to Build Back Better!

Tell Congress to Build Back Better!: As our economy begins to recover, just getting back to normal isn’t good enough – it’s time to Build Back Better.

Now, Congress must deliver. The climate crisis and the frontline communities that have been facing the disproportionate impacts of pollution and climate change can wait no longer. We have the perfect opportunity to make a difference: Help us push Congress to invest in clean energy and create millions of good quality, high-paying jobs that modernize our energy, transportation and water infrastructure and invest in people and communities who too often have been left behind.
