361 Days

Until the 2020 Election


THE PLANET IS BURNING

CALL CONGRESS

Trump filed notice that the US is leaving the Paris Accord at the first possible moment he was able to do so. Yesterday, 11,000 scientists published an open letter saying that the Earth is facing a climate emergency.  

The only good news is that the deadline for reversing Trump’s decision is the day after the 2020 election.  We need no other reason to work hard to defeat Trump and his allies in the Senate and House.    

NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW – INCLUDING THE LAWS OF NATURE

Call Our Members of Congress!

Take Action on Climate Crisis!


**ACTION ONE: CALL OUR SENATORS**

SAMPLE SCRIPT FOR SENATORS MERKLEY AND WYDEN:

“My name is [–] and I’m a constituent from [town/city], Oregon [zip code]. I am calling because . . .

. . . the planet is burning. Yet Trump withdrew from the Paris Climate Accord. I ask the that the Senator call out McConnell for bottling up legislative action and press your colleagues to stand up for the planet. 

Thank you.

SENATOR JEFF MERKLEY

**ACTION TWO: CALL COMPLICIT GREG WALDEN**

SAMPLE SCRIPT FOR WALDEN:

“My name is [–] and I’m a constituent from [town/city], Oregon [zip code]. I am calling because . . . 

. . . the planet is burning. Yet Trump withdrew from the Paris Climate Accord and Greg Walden’s party is loaded with climate crisis deniers. Before he exits Congress, Greg should do the right thing. Put planet before party.  

Through Greg’s actions and inactions, he continues to signal his full support for trumpism, regardless of how much damage Trump is doing to our democracy and to world stability. Know that we are still here and will continue working to flip ORD2 Blue in 2020.

Thank you.”
