To: Senator Chuck Schumer and the Senate Congressional Committee

ADD YOUR NAME: Sign our petition to strip Manchin of his position as Chair

Manchin has once again stood in the way of progress by refusing to support expanded climate spending in the Democrats’ reconciliation package. Needless to say, this is a crushing blow for Americans, our fight for a more livable planet, and every veteran who recognizes the urgency of this crisis.

Senator Manchin is radically out of touch with the reality of climate change and the impact it will have on not only his constituents but on all Americans.

Make no mistake: This failure to pass this legislation now leaves many Americans – especially those who are of color and low income – to suffer.

Help Common Defense fight back against Senators who stick their heads in the sand in the face of a clear crisis, like Joe Manchin. Sign our petition to strip Manchin of his position as Chair of the energy and natural resources committee. If the news headlines are any indication, there is absolutely no time to wait.

Why is this important?

Manchin should immediately be stripped of his position as Chair of the energy and natural resources committee. He clearly has too much of a personal and financial stake in that sector to be making any decisions about energy and our environment.

Show Senator Manchin that you will not stand for his plot to make himself richer at the expense of everyone else's livelihoods. Sign Common Defense's petition right now and let Congress know that we will not stand for this enormous conflict of interest.
