In March, I stayed up all night with thirty other senators to
urge Congress to take immediate action on climate change.
Last week, the National Climate Assessment confirmed that
climate change is real, it's already altering our daily lives, and we have
the power to slow it down. And
now, we're bringing the wake-up call right to Congress' front door.
As co-chairs of the Climate Action Task Force, Senator Barbara
Boxer and I invite you to join us on May 21, 2014 when we kick off the Capitol Hill Climate Action Rally
to wake up Congress to climate change. Other climate champions in the House
and Senate will join us to show public support for action on climate change.
At the rally, we will literally sound the alarm on climate
change: We'll be setting alarms on our phones, tablets, or hand-held devices
to ring at 5 p.m. EST. And we want you to join us.
The devastating effects of climate change are apparent all
around us, and we need to take action right now -- before it’s too late. I
hope you will join me, Senator Barbara Boxer, and other climate change
champions across the country to address one of the most pressing issues for
our generation: to protect our planet right now -- for us and for our
children.
Sincerely,
Sheldon Whitehouse
U.S. Senator
