Dear Supporter,
Just last week, Senators John Kerry and Barbara Boxer introduced clean energy legislation to reduce climate- changing emissions.
Stopping climate pollution is key to our moral responsibility to be good stewards of the earth and our own survival.
But while we debate how to reduce carbon emissions and protect our future, climate change is already costing lives.
Millions around the world are facing increased flooding, new disease outbreaks and dying farms.
Watch our new video and tell the Senate we need immediate action to protect those already affected by climate change.
Climate change disproportionately affects the people who have done the least to cause it and have the fewest resources to cope. Developing countries are 20 times as likely to be affected by climate-related disasters.
But there is hope: new legislation in the Senate would provide targeted funding to support innovative solutions that are already helping people adapt to a rapidly changing environment.
But while we wait, typhoons like those that hit Southeast Asia last week continue to wreak havoc and destroy livelihoods. Simple solutions like raising homesteads, providing rescue boats and instituting flood early warning systems will save lives while we figure out how to address the root causes of climate change. [1]
Please help imperiled communities survive by telling the Senate that you support climate adaptation funding before the important committee vote later this month.
We've already done so much together to lift up a moral voice on health care.
And now we must stand and remind our nation that we are responsible for one another.
Act today at DaySix.org. Let's give those who need it most the help they need to survive.
Thanks for reminding the world that we're all in this together.
Sincerely,
Beth, Katie, Dan, Kristin and Jennifer
The Faithful America Team
