State Legislators

This week, people across the country are gathering to demand that the oil and gas industry clean up the mess it made by helping to pay for the costs of climate change.    And boy, is there a mess. We’re deep in the middle of a climate crisis—one that is predominantly caused by the burning of fossil fuels.  Indeed, it’s hard to find a single person in the United States who has been left unscathed by climate change. Since 2011, 99.5 percent of congressional districts experienced at least one federally declared major disaster due to extreme weather.
