Help the THRIVE RESOLUTION get to Congress!
HERE’S AN EASY ACTION TO GET STARTED WITH: Call Rep. Kim Schrier (202-225-7761) or Rep. Dan Newhouse (202-2255816) and talk to them about being a Co-Sponsor on “THE THRIVE RESOLUTION” https://addup.sierraclub.org/campaigns/ask-your-members-of-congress-to-become-original-cosponsors-of-the-thrive-resolution?romoid=7013q0000020Sz1AAEutm_medium=email&utm_source=sierraclub&utm_campaign=internationalclimate
THRIVE is a Campaign by Sierra Club and other Climate Organizations to take a 1st step toward the Green New Deal. When I called my representative’s office, they were unaware of the resolution. Call today and let them know we want to get going on justice oriented climate solutions!
OUR DEMAND
We demand that banks, asset managers, insurance companies and institutional investors stop funding, insuring and investing in climate destruction.
They need to stop funding fossil fuels and deforestation and start respecting human rights and Indigenous sovereignty. Watch the following video to see what’s going on:
