The coronavirus pandemic has made it clear: legislators must listen to the science and move proactively to prevent disaster. Massachusetts politicians must match their extraordinary leadership on COVID-19 with unprecedented climate action to protect future generations and give us the financial security we need today.

We call on you to pass strong climate legislation before the end of 2020 that:

1. Commits Massachusetts to zero greenhouse gas emissions by or before 2050, with 50% reduction by 2030 (closest legislation: H.2836, H3983)

2. Funds our transition to a green economy with corporate polluter fees along with investments and rebates that give money directly to low and moderate-income people (closest legislation: H.2810)

3. Protects low-income people and people of color (closest legislation: H.4264)
