No new drilling! Climate action NOW, while there's still time!

I’m writing because I’m alarmed and appalled to see the President moving to enable more oil and gas drilling, not less, on public lands in a misguided attempt to address rising gas prices. We know this won’t work. Oil and gas companies are making record profits—they are capable of getting prices under control; they are simply choosing not to. Dialing back our commitment to climate action, when we know more than ever how much trouble we’re in, is insane. This is an emergency. Please, we MUST take the urgent action needed to tackle the climate emergency and secure real energy independence now by investing in a strong domestic clean energy sector. A clean energy economy will lower costs for families like mine; create good-paying, family-supporting jobs; reduce emissions at the rate science demands; and secure our independence from unreliable and unpredictable forces beyond our control. There is no option for inaction on the climate crisis. The future of our economy, our planet, and our lives — our children’s lives — is in your hands.  Thank you.
