Dear Katy,

Tell Congress: Pass the Climate Risk Disclosure Act

Climate change is one of the biggest economic threats the world will ever face. Yet under our financial system, companies are incentivized to ignore it completely.

The longer they wait to face reality, the greater the chances that all of us will face what Sen. Elizabeth Warren has called "a global catastrophe that will put the 2008 crisis to shame."1

That's why Sen. Warren recently introduced the Climate Risk Disclosure Act. The bill would require companies to evaluate and report their climate risks, which would inform responsible investors and deter them from putting money into companies that don't manage them responsibly.

Our financial system incentivizes behavior that will lead to catastrophic climate change. Not only does the United States subsidize fossil fuel production, but it allows companies to ignore the harm they are causing to the climate and hide the ways that climate change could disrupt their business from investors.

The Climate Risk Disclosure Act would help change that. The bill would require every public company to disclose greenhouse gas emissions, fossil fuel assets, plans for managing climate risks and an analysis of how the company's value would be affected by climate change and climate policies.2 It would force companies to be transparent about their environmental impact and give investors the information they need to make responsible decisions about whether they want to invest in companies that are fueling climate change.

Under the bill, the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) would set requirements for each business sector and enforce penalties on companies that don't comply. Although the SEC already passed a rule in 2010 that requires companies to include climate risks in their annual filings, the agency has not enforced it and companies have largely ignored the rule.3 We need Congress to take action.

Passing progressive environmental legislation like this today will be tough, but we don't have much time to lose. if we start building support for the Climate Risk Disclosure Act in Congress now, we can help make it a reality once progressives are in power.

To do that, we need to let our representatives know that we demand that companies be held accountable for the climate risks they are imposing on us all. Along with Sen. Warren, the bill is already co-sponsored by Sens. Brian Schatz, Ed Markey, Sheldon Whitehouse, Cory Booker, Kamala Harris, Kirsten Gillibrand and Jeff Merkley.4

Sign the petition: Kavanaugh should be impeached, not promoted

Brett Kavanaugh should be impeached, not promoted

Petition to the U.S. House of Representatives:
"Brett Kavanaugh now faces credible accusations of sexual assault and perjury and should be impeached, not promoted. Initiate impeachment proceedings to remove him from the federal bench."

Dear Katy,

Brett Kavanaugh should be impeached, not promoted

Courageous, credible accusations, unhinged behavior, vile misogyny. That was yesterday's Senate Judiciary hearing on Brett Kavanaugh.

For Senate Republicans, promoting Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court is a perfect way to institutionalize their agenda and double down on the misogyny at its core. For the rest of us, it's clear that Kavanaugh should be impeached, not promoted.

We're going to fight to the end to make sure that Brett Kavanaugh doesn't get a seat on the Supreme Court. We believe that we will win. And when we do, we need to be ready to get him off the federal bench completely. Building that momentum starts today.

Tell the House: Impeach Brett Kavanaugh. Click here to sign the petition.

Kavanaugh has been credibly accused of sexual assault and lying under oath in 2004, 2006 and potentially in this round of confirmation hearings.1,2 It is the job of the House of Representatives to investigate just these kinds of accusations and impeach if they find them to be true.3

Senate Republicans have proven that they care more about helping men escape consequences for sexual harassment and assault than about making sure a liar and potential sexual predator isn't confirmed to the Supreme Court. House Republicans should be feeling massive pressure demanding they do better than their Senate colleagues and reminding them that constituents will hold them accountable if they don't.

Tell the House: Impeach Brett Kavanaugh. Click here to sign the petition.

House Democrats have a role to play too. Already, progressive champion Rep. Ted Lieu has called for impeachment and a House Judiciary Committee investigation.4 House leadership should support this call. They should commit now that if they win control of the House in November, they will conduct a real investigation into the allegations against Kavanaugh and hold him accountable, whether he is on the D.C. Circuit or the Supreme Court.

Already Democrats are hesitant to talk about impeachment when it comes to Trump. We need to make it clear that we expect accountability for Kavanaugh, and that we expect them to lead.

Tell the House: Impeach Brett Kavanaugh. Click the link below to sign the petition:

We believe her: Show up at Sen. Gardner's office to say no to Kavanaugh

Show up at Sen. Gardner's office today to cancel Kavanaugh

After hearing Christine Blasey Ford's courageous testimony, we need to put massive pressure on key senators to oppose Kavanaugh. RSVP for a rapid response action at Sen. Gardner's office today.

Click below to RSVP:

RSVP ►

Dear Katy,

Show up at Sen. Gardner's office today to cancel Kavanaugh

Yesterday, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford bravely delivered heart-wrenching and deeply credible testimony, confirming that Brett Kavanaugh is a sexual predator.

Kavanaugh followed Blasey Ford with unhinged, partisan, entitled testimony that proved yet again that he is deeply unqualified to serve on the Supreme Court. And Republicans did what they've been doing for weeks – undermined survivors, painted Kavanaugh as a victim and promised to do everything they can to confirm him. They are voting this morning to send his nomination to the Senate floor.1

Now we must show up for Dr. Blasey Ford, Deborah Ramirez, Julie Swetnick and every survivor and do everything we can to stop Kavanaugh from being confirmed.

Can you show up today at Sen. Gardner's office in Denver and demand a no vote on Kavanaugh?

Click here to RSVP on Facebook for the event in Denver.

Here are the details:

What: Believe Survivors. Block Kavanaugh
When: Friday, September 28, 2018 at 12 p.m. (local time)
Where: 721 19th Street, Suite 150 Denver, CO 80202
Note: Please wear black to stand with survivors.

Bring signs, handwritten letters, pictures or photos of the people you're fighting for, and make clear to senators that they have a responsibility to believe survivors and stop Kavanaugh.

We're working with our friends at MoveOn, UltraViolet, National Domestic Worker's Alliance, Indivisible and Planned Parenthood to call for these gatherings with very short notice – but we know that CREDO members will show up because we all stand with survivors and know what's at stake if Kavanaugh is confirmed.

In the last few weeks, CREDO members have submitted more than 400,000 petition signatures to the Senate opposing Kavanaugh and made thousands of phone calls demanding senators block his confirmation. Now we need to show up in person to demonstrate the massive opposition to Kavanaugh and to remind senators considering a vote for Kavanaugh that we will hold them accountable if they help give a sexual predator a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court.

Join us at 12 p.m. at Sen. Gardner's office. Bring a sign, a friend, and your voice!
