Without whistleblowers, America cannot combat the climate crisis

The climate crisis is one of the greatest challenges of our lifetimes. It poses an enormous threat to our economy and quality of life. To combat this, the House of Representatives has introduced the CLEAN Future Act to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas pollution no later than 2050.

This Act would authorize over $565 billion over ten years to rebuild and modernize America’s infrastructure - with significant funding aimed at workers and communities who have been disproportionally impacted by pollution.

However, our long history with federal funding has proven that bad actors will try to take advantage of this assistance. Congress must take the climate crisis seriously and include whistleblower provisions modeled off the successful Dodd-Frank Act to protect spending and ensure compliance with environmental standards.

So please, take action today, tell Congress to ensure climate whistleblowers are protected under the CLEAN Future Act. Without whistleblowers, this needed piece of climate legislation will become another source of income for bad actors.
