The United States is one of the biggest contributors to the climate crisis. It’s only fair that the U.S. and other wealthy nations pick up the tab for mitigating its impacts at home and abroad.

That’s why we’re calling on U.S. special envoy John Podesta to commit the U.S. to funding — at the levels the climate crisis demands — a just transition to renewable energy and to mitigating climate disasters in the Global South, which is bearing the brunt of the climate crisis we helped create.

Will you sign the petition to tell U.S. special climate envoy John Podesta to commit to funding a just transition and climate mitigation at COP29?

As climate disasters become more frequent and more destructive, we need our elected officials to fund emergency relief efforts for those impacted.

It’s imperative that Congress come back into session to prioritize our safety and fully fund crucial climate disaster relief.

It's tempting to say that the U.S. immigration system is broken, but like our country's criminal legal system, the unfortunate reality is that it is functioning exactly how it was designed: to dehumanize and criminalize immigrants.

It's time to transform our nation's immigration system. We must welcome people with dignity, ensure their right to legal counsel, and keep their families together.
