Senate climate hawks have re-introduced the Polluters Pay Climate Fund Act in the Senate. Climate Hawks Vote was of course one of the first groups in the nation to endorse it.

As climate-fueled wildfires devastate Southern California, forcing tens of thousands of people to evacuate we're calling on ever y member of the US Senate to become a cosponsor, NOW.

It was no accident that Senate climate hawks reintroduced legislation to make polluters pay their fair share to confront the climate crisis as their first act of the 119th Congress. We’ve seen legislation to make polluters pay pop up in all sorts of states that have been hit by climate disasters in recent years.

This legislation requires the largest U.S.-based fossil fuel extractors and oil refiners and foreign-owned companies doing business in the U.S. to pay into a $1 trillion Polluters Pay Climate Fund, with their contributions based on a percentage of their global emissions. The Fund would then be used to finance a wide range of efforts to tackle the impacts of climate change.

But with every state from Florida to Alaska being hit by climate disasters, we need way more Senators to get on board with the principal that polluters, not citizens, should pay for the escalating costs of the climate emergency. Enter your information on the right to get matched to your Senators and a sample message asking them to cosponsor the bill (if they haven't already). We'll update this action when a House version of the bill is introduced in the coming weeks.
