Action Alert: Sign the Petition to Senator Manchin for Climate Action
In early November, Congress took a step towards meaningful climate action by passing the bipartisan infrastructure package. The legislative package, supported by Senator Manchin, Senator Capito, and Representative McKinley, provides significant investments to improve access to clean, safe water; enhance energy efficiency; and reclaim abandoned mine lands and orphaned gas wells.
But there is still more work for Congress to do!
They must pass a budget reconciliation bill with strong climate provisions. The budget reconciliation is the key to unlocking all the important policies the infrastructure package lays out and it builds upon them. This is a once in a generation opportunity to invest in West Virginia’s communities and wild places.
Right now, Senator Manchin needs to hear from West Virginians about the urgent need for climate legislation. That’s why, on Thursday, November 18, we will be joining the West Virginia Climate Alliance to deliver a petition to Senator Manchin’s office with the names of West Virginians who care about and demand climate action.
Be part of the petition – send Senator Manchin a message by 10AM Thursday, November 18.
