>     Dear----
>     As you might know, we are working to build support for 100%
>     renewables in Congress with a letter supporting resolutions in the
>     House and the Senate.  Thanks to all who have already signed on.
>       We’ve extended the deadline for sign-ons until the end of next
>     week, so we're following up to get any last minute sign-ons from
>     you and organizations in your network.  Here’s a link to the
>     letter<https://goo.gl/forms/y7F7xszOP96JIqs23>.
>     As background, Reps Grijalva & Ellison have filed a resolution
>     calling for 100% renewable energy as a national goal with a strong
>     emphasis on equity and access.   43 members of Congress have also
>     joined them as cosponsors.  At the same time, Senators Markey &
>     Merkley are seeking support for a similar resolution in the Senate
>     (attached); which they plan to drop when Congress reconvenes in
>     November.  We want to bolster the efforts of this clean energy
>     champs in Congress by getting additional cosponsors.  To that end,
>     we’re circulating this
>     letter<https://goo.gl/forms/y7F7xszOP96JIqs23> to show the range
>     of organizations and community leaders that support the goal.
>     We all know that fossil fuels have polluted our air, water and
>     land, harming our health and our quality of life.  That pollution
>     is also changing our climate faster than scientists feared it
>     would. The impacts are disproportionately borne by disadvantaged
>     neighborhoods, communities of color and low-income people.
>     A shift to 100% clean, renewable energy will improve our
>     environment, and our quality of life. If done right, it can also
>     help revitalize disadvantaged communities and lift up low-income
>     people and communities of color that have suffered the worst
>     effects of our current energy systems.  It’s a big, bold goal, one
>     that would make America a world leader in the race toward a
>     cleaner, healthier future — and it’s a goal that’s 100% possible.
>     In order to stop big energy interests from holding back our
>     progress, we must demand that our national leaders to push past
>     opposition and lead our country to 100% renewable energy.  Please
>     join us in showing Congress that you support a brighter future
>     with 100% renewable energy by signing onto this
>     letter<https://goo.gl/forms/y7F7xszOP96JIqs23> by December 9th.
>     We want to show a critical mass of support for 100% clean energy
>     going into 2017.  Please consider signing your organization onto
>     the letter and circulating to organizations or businesses in your
>     network that would be interested.     Below is a recent list of
>     organizations signed on so far.
