"A coalition of more than 20 climate, labor and social justice groups is planning a nationwide mobilization to push Congress to pass robust climate legislation before Memorial Day, according to details shared exclusively with The Climate 202.
The mobilization on Saturday — one day after Earth Day and two days before Congress returns from recess — will include events in 40 cities across the country. Biden administration officials will speak at the event in D.C., with confirmed attendance from White House deputy climate adviser Ali Zaidi and White House Council on Environmental Quality Chair Brenda Mallory.
The organizers hope to highlight the shrinking window for passing ambitious climate policy before the midterm elections in November, when Republicans could regain control of Congress, dashing the prospects for sweeping climate legislation."
