LEADING THE CHARGE TO FIGHT THE CLIMATE CRISIS
(Mrs. LEE of Nevada asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Mrs. LEE of Nevada. Madam Speaker, I rise today, not alone, but on the shoulders of hundreds of advocates and activists leading the charge to fight this climate crisis with the urgency it demands.
Over the past couple months, I have stood here almost every week calling for bold investments in clean energy infrastructure and climate solutions in the Build Back Better Act.
But I know when we pass the bipartisan infrastructure bill and the Build Back Better Act, it will be because of the efforts of so many advocates.
For years, Nevadans from the Nevada Conservation League, the League of Conservation Voters, the Sierra Club, Chispa, the Environmental Defense Fund, and Battle Born Progress and so many other hardworking organizations have come together to demand climate action.
Now, thanks to your hard work, I am confident that we will pass historic investment in clean energy infrastructure and build back better for our future.
The time to act on climate is now.
