Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse’s (D. RI) re-election campaign:
We're already experiencing the dangerous effects of climate change, and it's only going to get worse if we do nothing to stop it. But President Trump and the GOP refuse to listen to scientific evidence or even acknowledge the reality of global warming.
It's time to join together, take action and defend our planet. That's why I'm excited about the upcoming marches in Washington, D.C., and around the country:
I hope you'll attend an upcoming rally, whether in Washington, D.C., or in one of the satellite locations across the country. Whether or not you march, please add your name to stand in solidarity and support real action to protect our environment and fight climate change!
Since taking office, President Trump has tried to wipe out climate change measures to appease big polluters – against the wishes of the American people. And his dark money-backed EPA administrator has built his career by attacking regulations of the fossil fuel industry.
In the face of such unprecedented attacks on the environment and efforts to roll back critical climate change initiatives, marches like these are now more important than ever. Will you commit to doing your part and standing up for our environment?
Add your name to stand in solidarity with these marches and fight back against Trump's dangerous, anti-science agenda.
Thanks,
Sheldon
