As people of faith, one of the best ways we can Protect Minnesota’s Future is to focus our attention on solutions to global warming pollution. Unfortunately, there is fierce opposition from industry lobbyists to a key global warming solution being considered by the Minnesota Legislature: the Minnesota Clean Cars Act.

The Minnesota Clean Cars Act is a significant step in the right direction that would require automakers to produce cleaner cars.Contact your legislators TODAY to let them know that you support the Minnesota Clean Cars Act!  Legislators need to hear from their constituents, not just industry lobbyists at the Capitol.

ELCA Policy Base "The earth is a planet of beauty and abundance; the earth system is wonderfully intricate and incredibly complex.  But today living creatures, and the air, soil, and water that support them, face unprecedented threats.  Many threats are global; most stem directly from human activity.  Our current practices may so alter the living world that it will be unable to sustain life in the manner we know."

Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,

Thank you for your leadership on establishing global warming goals for Minnesota last year!

Now we need to enact real global warming solutions to help Minnesota reach those goals. Please vote yes on House File 863 or Senate File 0481 - Minnesota Clean Cars Act.

We can't pass up this opportunity to protect our air quality and make real reductions in global warming pollution.

Sincerely,
