We no longer live in a world where global warming is an abstract threat to future generations. Impacts of a warming planet are actively harming our families right now—with the most vulnerable including children, the elderly, and those who live in lower income and poor communities.

Global warming causes increased infant deaths and adverse health outcomes, increases risk of becoming infected by diseases including Zika and Lyme, and impacts our kids’ ability to learn and play at home and at school.

The Pledge For A Future, backed by organizations including ParentsTogether, Families For A Future, and the Green New Deal Network, asks elected officials to make big polluters pay for their pollution and clean it up, stop giving polluters taxpayer money, and advance clean energy to rapidly phase out pollution.

Sign if you agree our elected officials must act.

As a constituent, I am asking for your commitment to protect my family and our future. Pollution from fossil fuels threatens everything we know and love.

A failure to support the rapid phase-out of pollution is a failure to protect our kids.

We have the solutions and tools to power our lives without pollution.

Clean energy will make us safer, save families money, and create significant economic opportunities.

The transition to clean energy is underway, but without your action as an elected leader, it won’t happen fast enough to protect the future for our kids and the next generation.

That’s why I’m asking you to join the growing list of elected leaders who have signed the Pledge For A Future, and commit to:
- Make big polluters pay for their pollution and clean it up.
- Stop giving polluters taxpayer money.
- Advance clean energy in order to rapidly phase out pollution.

Protecting kids and families shouldn't be partisan or controversial - it's common sense. Elected officials please add your name at afuture.org/pledge so constituents like me can see you have committed to protect our future.
