This Action Alert is part of Encounter for Our Common Home, a broad Catholic coalition advocacy effort urging U.S. Senators to pass climate provisions this year. Thank you for joining us – visit www.GodsPlanet.us for more information.

Urge your Senators to Pass Ambitious Climate Solutions

Please join Catholics across the country who are urging their senators to support $555 billion in climate solutions that lower national greenhouse gas emissions and help communities build resilience against the impacts of climate change.

The latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reaffirms that we must dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions to prevent the most catastrophic impacts of climate change upon our common home and future. Renewable energy reduces reliance on destabilizing petrostates, and must be a significant energy source for a peaceable future. We are tragically reminded that Russia’s aggression against Ukraine is funded by profits from the export of oil and gas.

We need senators from both political parties to support legislation that reduces dependence on fossil fuels, addresses the climate crisis, and improves prospects for a thriving and peaceful future, especially our most vulnerable neighbors. Some ambitious solutions already exist in the $555 billion in climate provisions within legislation the Senate is considering now. Senators can make profoundly beneficial decisions about our shared future by passing this legislation full of climate solutions.

You may find below sample language for your message to your senators. We encourage you to personalize your correspondence with your own concerns and experiences.

Background information may be found here.

We just need few pieces of information to connect you with representatives.

Act on Climate Crisis through Reconciliation

Subject: Please Support Ambitious Climate Solutions

Message:

As a Catholic called to uphold the life and dignity of every human person and to care for Earth, our common home, I urge you to support legislation that includes $555 billion in climate and clean energy investments that reduce dependence on fossil fuels, address the climate crisis, and improve prospects for a thriving and peaceful future. The most recent report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change makes clear that ambitious legislation is critical to address the root causes of climate change and create a clean, energy independent future for the good of all people. Russia’s aggression against Ukraine makes our need to depend less on fossil fuels even more tragically apparent, as their war is funded significantly by profits from oil and gas exports. The proposed $555 billion in climate and clean energy investments that are needed include tax incentives supporting clean energy technology innovation, resilience investments to protect directly affected communities, and other incentives to decarbonize and strengthen the economy. I urge you to support these provisions. Submitted in faith,
