[Green] Fw: Day prior: Webinar 6/18: Expert Briefing

This bill has been in committee since February 2023, so it has little chance of passing, but I thought some of us might be interested.

Rebecca,

Join us to hear from our Featured Policy Guest: Robert Hogan, Senior Policy Council member and lead staffer on H.R.598, the “Earth Act to Stop Climate Pollution by 2030,<https://default.salsalabs.org/T1fc7a2bb-c470-4ef5-aab2-dc1e3069f18a/cd138694-1ed0-4fcf-bc4e-9fd485212981>” popularly known as the Earth Bill. Robert works in the office of Representative Espaillat (NY-13), the bill's sponsor.

  *   Learn why this is an important piece of legislation
  *   Hear a state of play on the bill for 2025 and 2025
  *   Learn what we can do to advance this piece of legislation

The Earth Bill focuses on electricity, cars, and food as industries in which Americans support change–most Americans agree that our electricity should be renewable, our cars electric, and our food should be produced using healthy practices.

Rebecca, as you may know, volunteers with UUs for Social Justice and other UUs have been involved, in various ways, from early on with the bill through the Earth Bill Network.

UU organizations that have endorsed the bill:

  *   The UU Ministry for Earth
  *   UUs for a Just Economic Community
  *   UUs for Social Justice

Let’s make noteworthy progress toward sustainability by 2030.

As the Center for Biological Diversity finds in its report Out Polluting Progress<https://default.salsalabs.org/Tbc54adc8-9336-49f5-9286-4ab79a1d8e4a/cd138694-1ed0-4fcf-bc4e-9fd485212981>, if we continue with the status quo approach, it won’t happen.

A February report from Swiss Re<https://default.salsalabs.org/Tac54ca85-c039-4e32-9513-fe85afa7ed35/cd138694-1ed0-4fcf-bc4e-9fd485212981> estimates “climate change is currently costing the U.S. roughly $97 billion per year.”

 Rebecca, yippee, happy news! We have made it past the half way mark, we are 60% to goal.
