Please share this action alert from Rob Hogg:
I am asking Iowans to contact our US Representatives to oppose HR1, a bill that includes large fossil fuel subsidies and giveaways. We want to share the message that instead we need their help to cut climate pollution 50% or more by 2030, which the science says is the minimum needed.
Here is a link to an Energy and Environment News article about HR1, which may be up for a vote yet this week:
https://www.eenews.net/articles/a-closer-look-at-the-big-house-gop-energy-package/
By subsidizing and promoting fossil fuels, HR1 takes us in the wrong direction.
This is an important moment to speak up. If our Representatives don’t hear from Iowans now, they may think – erroneously – that Iowans don’t care about climate change. If they do hear from us, they may understand that effective climate action is important to most Iowans.
Five national groups have provided action links where you can email your US Representative:
Sierra Club – sc.org/stopHR1
EDF Action – https://www.edfaction.org/action
Wilderness Society – https://act.wilderness.org/a/tell-house-oppose-attack-climate-and-public-lands-1
Interfaith Power & Light – https://interfaithpowerandlight.salsalabs.org/opposehr1/index.html
Climate Reality – https://www.climaterealityproject.org/action/tell-your-representatives-vote-no-hr1
I sent emails through all five organizations.
