Welcome back to Movement Mondays in which I share info along with calls to action on behalf of frontline communities that are enduring the worst of the climate crisis.
I’m coming in briefly with this one because the issue moved faster than anticipated.
Senator Schumer and Speaker Pelosi are in talks to attach Manchin’s Dirty Deal to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Quick summary: this dirty deal is a fossil fuel industry wishlist to fast-track fossil fuel projects, gut bedrock environmental protections, endanger public health, and push Manchin’s pet project, the Mountain Valley Pipeline. WE STOPPED IT IN SEPTEMBER AND WE CAN STOP IT AGAIN!!!
Action: phone calls needed ASAP.
Senate Majority Leader Schumer: (202) 224-6542
Speaker Pelosi: (202) 225-4965
House of Representatives switchboard: (202) 224-3121
Senate switchboard: (202) 224-3121
Message: Do NOT attach Manchin’s “permitting reform” to the NDAA or any other must-pass legislation. Protecting our communities and climate is much more important than giving another gift to the fossil fuel industry. Stand with the communities impacted by fossil fuels and the climate crisis, and stop the dirty deal!
Solidarity! ✊🏽
Thanks for alerting us to this, Tracy!

So far, they haven’t gotten enough votes to attach the dirty deal to the NDAA. Our pressure is working!

In the time between updating that for you, Becky, the dirty deal was announced DEAD and not attached to the NDAA, and now Manchin is trying again…to attach it as an amendment to the NDAA. That coal baron is the absolute worst!!!
