Hi there,

As we are celebrating the ARP, we wanted to share positive clips to lift up, including with Secretary Buttigieg and Senator Schumer, around the start of the recovery and the need for infrastructure investments to tackle the climate crisis and truly build back better.

• Secretary Pete Buttigieg: “There is an enormous amount of work to be done. We have...to look to the future and taking care of what we've got with an eye toward climate, toward equity, and with an eye toward all the jobs we can create.”

• Senator Schumer: “Big, bold action is our watch word." Senator Schumer speaks to the American Rescue Plan and the bold change, like infrastructure, needed to continue building back better.

Also, ICYMI:

• Congrats to EPA Administrator Michael Regan: "You have my commitment that my staff and myself at the EPA will be a partner on any legislation that advances [environmental justice]." (plus a History Made tweet to share here)
  
  

• Rep. Katie Porter has a message for fossil fuel companies and polluters, she states, “When it comes to addressing climate change, talk is not enough!” 
• This is in addition to her epic takedown of an oil exec here

Hope you all have a nice Friday!

Until next time,
