Defend Our Climate Petition

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 made the largest climate and clean energy investments in U.S. history. The climate investments in the IRA are historic and are imperative to addressing the urgent moral issue of climate justice. The Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have also made progress in advancing pollution standards for the power, transportation, and oil and gas sectors, which will significantly reduce climate pollution and improve public health.


But this progress is under attack in Congress. The climate crisis is accelerating, taking an enormous toll on human life, our communities, and our world.  

Sign the petition below to call on Congress to defend our climate progress for current and future generations and our Sacred Earth!

Letter

Dear Member of Congress,

As people of faith and conscience, we recognize the importance of strong climate leadership. Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) – the largest climate investment in American history – and the Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has made significant progress on climate. This includes stronger standards that will reduce harmful pollution driving climate change, including pollution from power plants, vehicles, and soot sources.

But this progress is under attack.

Big polluters and businesses, including the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), the US Chamber of Commerce, and their polluter allies in Congress, are working tirelessly to dismantle this progress. The House has voted 31 times to repeal or cut the Inflation Reduction Act, which includes the largest climate investments in American history. They have also threatened to slash climate-smart agriculture investments in the Farm Bill, and have attempted to use the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to overturn EPA protections and other important standards from across the Administration that limit pollution, clean up our air, and improve our health.

We have a moral call to care for our Sacred Earth and our neighbors, both here and around the world.

That’s why we’re calling on you, our leaders in Congress, to stand up to attacks by big polluters and their allies. Please Defend Our Climate by:

-Blocking efforts to roll back investments in our communities and in clean energy jobs passed under the Inflation Reduction Act

-Opposing CRAs that aim to repeal limits on pollutants from power plants, cars, trucks, and harmful pollutants

-Protecting the climate-smart ag investments in the Farm Bill

-Saying NO to efforts to cut critical funding to combat climate change in the federal budget

We need you to Defend Our Climate.
