Environmental Defense Action Fund call to Action!

Capitol Hill
 

Hi all,

After a year of historic climate action, the brand new House of Representatives has started its session off by putting our progress in jeopardy. H.R.1 is designed to cause significant harm to our climate, eliminate or reduce environmental and human-health protections and dismantle many of the key incentives for reducing climate pollution established by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). 

We can’t let that happen. Take action and tell your Members of Congress to stand against this threat to climate progress!

H.R. 1 is a direct attack on bedrock environmental laws and clean energy policies. If passed, it would alter the course of America’s transition to clean energy alternatives.

H.R. 1 would repeal a number of the innovative programs of the IRA meant to propel clean energy production across the country. But it doesn’t end there. From trying to weaken laws that protect our communities during their transition to clean energy, to dismantling safeguards limiting exposure to harmful chemicals found in our products, homes and communities, this package would set the US in the wrong direction.

Laws like these aren’t just critical to America’s climate strategy, they’re key to protecting the health of communities from deadly forms of pollution. Simply put, we cannot let this pass.

That’s why we’re calling on you to take action by urging your Representative to shut down this bill.

This is our moment to defend climate progress! Send a powerful message to your Representative today and tell them to vote against H.R. 1.

Thank you for taking action,

Wes Rogerson
Manager, Grassroots Organizing & Activism
