PURPOSE:
On Thursday, February 17th, the President of the United States will be in the cities of Cleveland and Lorain, Ohio to discuss the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’s massive investments in clean water infrastructure. We are seeking to use this visit as an opportunity to celebrate these investments and encourage the Biden Administration to #FinishTheJob and pass the Build Back Better Act (BBB Act)’s climate provisions.
The BBB Act’s significant climate provisions would, if passed, amount to the largest and most consequential investment in climate action in our nation’s history. This legislation would allow the United States to meet the challenges of the climate emergency and ensure that we do so in a manner that centers environmental justice. We need YOUR help to show Congress that Ohioans are ready for a #ClimateRecovery!
