2,000 Letters to Reach Our Goal

Reaching our Goal: 100K Climate Action Letters Campaign

Writer's Block?

These are just a few of things we can do with a strong climate and energy bill.

Cap carbon pollution and solve the climate crisis.
Put millions of Americans to work on the clean energy transition.
Lead the 21st century clean energy revolution.
Reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
Improve our national security.

Update: We've received 98,000 letters from across the country. Just 2,000 left to go! See what your fellow citizens have to say and get inspired to join the cause.

You've heard the saying that the pen is mightier than the sword. Well, we're hoping that the pen is also mightier than the millions of dollars the big polluters and their lobbyists are spending to block climate action.

That's why we are launching our 100,000 Letters for Climate Action Campaign—and we need your help. Please follow these three simple steps and we'll make sure your Senators hear from you.

1. Write your letter

Tell your Senators why you want them to support a strong climate and energy bill. Your unique story is what will convince your Senators to take action.

2. Send us your letter

Send your letter to this address and we'll deliver it to the Senate (with 99,999 others):

100K Letters for Climate Action
c/o Environmental Defense Fund
1875 Connecticut Avenue NW
Suite 600
Washington, DC 20009

3. Tell your friends

For every letter we collect Big Oil will spend millions to influence your Senators. Help us reach our goal - have your friends and family write letters too.
