A Message from National LWV: Support Strong Global Climate Change Legislation

By the end of this month, Senate leadership plans to bring comprehensive climate change and clean energy legislation to the floor.

Months and months of debate over one of the most important issues of the 21st century could come down to this one vote.

Contact your Senators now to tell them to support strong global climate change legislation What is not up for debate is the fact that the status quo is no longer an option-we can either move forward with clean energy solutions that create jobs and stop global warming, or we can risk the unimaginable suffering and damage that will inevitably occur if we do nothing.
