Ohio Climate Recovery Day of Action - January 25

PURPOSE:

The Build Back Better 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!
