Take Action: Defend climate progress! February 18, 2025

In 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) was signed into law and became the largest investment in clean energy and climate change mitigation in United States history. This is in no small part thanks to health professionals like you that called on Congress to pass this critical law.

Thanks to the IRA, our nation is making progress to reduce emissions and improve health. Federal agencies have been issuing grants, updating tax codes and providing support for local communities as mandated by the law. From helping school districts buy electric school buses to helping people upgrade their homes with heat pumps to spurring the production and deployment of clean, renewable energy, the IRA is making its mark across the country.

Now, Congress must defend the progress we’ve made and keep moving forward to a clean energy future.

As a health professional, you likely feel the impacts of climate change both personally and through your patients. You also know the importance of safeguarding public health from dangerous emissions and natural disasters alike.

In partnership with the American Lung Association and the Medical Society Consortium on Climate and Health, we will deliver this petition when we meet with Members of Congress and their staff on Capitol Hill on March 4, 2025. Add your name today and make your voice heard!
