In just one week over 800 businesses have added their names to our "Businesses for a Safe Climate" petition! They've come from all over the country and include everything from restaurants to record labels. People just like you have signed up their own businesses, while others have hit the streets and collected signatures from businesses in their communities. It's been an impressive and inspiring show of support for real solutions to global warming.
But I believe that if everyone lends a hand, we can easily double that number. Here's why it's important: In addition to listing all of the businesses that sign the petition on our website, we'll use these signatures at rallies across the country in August to show Members of Congress that there is broad community support for effective, science-based global warming legislation.
Here's what you can do to make sure it happens: - If you own a business and haven't yet had a chance to sign on to the petition, please take a minute and do so now.
- If you have friends who own businesses, send them this email and urge them to sign up.
- Don't own or represent a business? No problem. Download the toolkit and start recruiting businesses from your community today.
It's time for our politicians to stop hiding behind the myth that taking real action on global warming would hurt small businesses. It's Congress' inaction that's hurting the business community and all of us, now and for generations to come.
The time for action is now,
