Tell the Senate: Help poor people deal with climate change

Right now, the Senate is debating a bill that could make a big difference for these people. We need your voice today.

Currently, the Senate is debating a bill that would require companies to buy permits in order to continue emitting the greenhouse gases that cause global warming. The revenue from the sale of those permits could be used to assist poor people who are already facing the consequences of climate change.

As the largest emitter of pollutants in the world, the US has a responsibility not only to cut our own pollution but also to help poor people survive the consequences of climate change. But the opposition will be fierce – so it’s up to us to take a stand. Ask your senators to ensure that the Lieberman-Warner bill requires a higher level of emission permits to be sold—rather than given away to polluting companies—and uses the money raised to help the poor adapt to the impacts of climate change.
