The Maryland legislature is now in session, and our leaders have a lot of work to do to respond to the escalating climate crisis ahead of us. Nothing short of a comprehensive climate plan will do. Please take a moment to call your legislators and tell them to support real climate action in 2022.
To make sure your message is heard loud and clear, follow these simple steps:
1. Enter your information in our form to find out your legislator’s contact information.
2. Call your legislators with the script we’ve provided below. If you’re on a mobile device, you can use our simple click-to-call feature.
3. Make sure your message includes your name, zip code (to make sure they know you’re a constituent) and that you would like them to SUPPORT a comprehensive climate plan in 2022.
4. (Optional) Include one key personal reason why you support bold climate action.
Sample script (will also be provided for you on the next page):
“Hello [LEGISLATOR’S NAME], my name is [YOUR NAME], I’m a constituent calling from [ZIP CODE or TOWN]. I’m calling in support of passing a comprehensive climate platform in 2022. This must include a commitment to cut climate pollution by 60% by 2030, fully electrify new buildings by 2023, and commit 40% of our climate funding to underserved communities.
I would also like to see:
[CHOOSE 1-2]
- Passage of the FUTURE Act that will commit public universities to net zero emissions by 2035
- Lead by example through truck and school bus electrification
- Require new construction bof buildings to be all-electric
- Invest in an equitable and clean electricity grid by passing the GRID Act
- Give greater voice to the environmental justice community in the implementation of these goals
- Connect low and moderate-income consumers to solar energy by passing tax incentives
Please do everything you can to take real action on climate this year. Thank you.”
