Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME] and I live in [YOUR CITY]. I’m calling to urge [SENATOR'S NAME] to tell Biden he must nominate a climate leader as Board Chair of the Federal Reserve who will take immediate action on the climate crisis. The Federal Reserve is supposed to limit risks to the economy but is ignoring the extreme risk of climate chaos. It has a mandate to assess and account for risks to the U.S. economy and needs to fulfill this mandate by accounting for climate risk. We need a Chair who will use all the tools the Fed has to account for climate risk.
We need a Federal Reserve Chair who will stop the Fed’s support of fossil fuel companies and instead invest in a just and renewable future. Thank you for your time and I hope [SENATOR'S NAME] will take action to ensure we have a fossil free Federal Reserve.
