saying that Biden should immediately declare a climate emergency in order to free up resources and authority for the Biden administration to address the climate crisis.
They say that continuing to permit new fossil fuel projects is essentially sacrificing marginalized communities in the name of Big Oil’s profit. This would “further entrench us in a fossil fuel economy for decades to come — and constitutes a violent betrayal of your pledge to combat environmental racism and destruction,” they said.

[Joe] Manchin’s fossil fuel demands.
