The climate crisis is already displacing people from their homes.
People are already feeling the consequences of the climate crisis, whether it be experiencing extreme temperatures in the day-to-day, or total displacement from their hometown due to weather-related damage and destruction.1
These kinds of stories and experiences will become far too normalized if elected officials do not take serious action now.
It's time for Congress and President Biden to fully back up their commitments to combat the climate crisis. Every day that passes without calling for a climate emergency means another day we cannot deploy the much-needed federal resources to communities on the frontlines of climate destruction, nor are we able to adequately prepare any communities to withstand future extreme weather events.
We cannot allow these stories to become the new normal. All of us are feeling just how much the climate crisis affects our everyday lives — from dwindling selections of produce at the grocery stores, to abnormal and out-of-season extreme floods and natural disasters, to longer and hotter summer months.
Thank you for your support,
