Now is a pivotal moment to push the President to take bold climate action and stop the sacrifice of frontline, communities to the greed of Big Oil & Gas.  

Thus far, President Biden’s only executive orders on climate have focused on ramping up renewable energy. This will only make a difference for our climate if the President also begins to ramp down fossil fuels – starting by immediately rejecting any new fossil fuel projects. It is our job to hold him accountable on both fronts - especially now, as communities – predominantly Black, Brown, and Indigenous – are threatened with new approvals for ever-more devastating fossil fuel projects.

Here is New Hampshire our utility bills skyrocket as the price of fossil fuels increases - especially for fracked methane gas. Our state has failed to expand renewable energy fast enough to offset expensive, dirty fossil fuels. If President Biden declares a climate emergency, it opens up his emergency powers - making it possible for the office of the president to stop fossil fuel leases, phase out coal, and hold polluters (like the coal plant in Bow, like Saint Gobain, etc) accountable for the mess they created.

Now, more than ever, we must push the President to act on all of our demands! It is our job to hold him accountable to be the climate president and speed the end of the fossil fuel era.  Join us on January 21st at 11am to take action together and pressure our Senators and the President to declare a climate emergency.

We are holding this action in coordination with the People Vs. Fossil Fuels coalition - a national coalition pressuring President Biden to declare a climate emergency and end the use of fossil fuels. This year, our movement and our world lost Joye Braun, a true warrior and force of nature. This coordinated action is in honor of Joye. Joye was a fierce defender of Indigenous sovereignty, human rights, and environmental and climate justice. She played an instrumental role in stopping KXL, fighting the Dakota Access Pipeline, elevating the crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW), and more recently leading the campaign to pressure President Biden to stop fossil fuel projects and declare a climate emergency.

Joye dedicated her life to our movement and would want us to keep fighting - and that’s exactly what we’re going to do. Our call to action is based on Joye’s demand to President Biden: Be a climate warrior not a wimp. Kill the black snakes, reject all fossil fuel projects and declare a climate emergency.
