Hi all,

We’re mobilizing for a week of action next week (starting with a virtual rally last night from the DNC Environment & Climate Crisis Council) calling on Congress to end fossil fuel subsidies via budget reconciliation.

These wasteful federal subsidies incentivize drilling in a climate emergency and pad the pockets of CEOs. The budget reconciliation process is our narrow window of political opportunity to eliminate these handouts to the fossil fuel industry and instead invest in building clean and resilient communities.

Below is a list of events happening this week along with sample social content to promote on your channels. Hope to see you on Tuesday and would appreciate groups promoting these events to your lists and channels!
