Climate change is not about some far-off day in the future -- its impacts are here, now, and can't be denied. Americans across the country are already experiencing very real effects: More frequent and severe extreme weather, like droughts and storms. Our coastal cities are seeing rising seas -- and flooding when it's just high tide. And each of the last three calendar years were the hottest years ever recorded. But here's the good news: Even if the White House refuses to take action -- and denies the basic climate science that 97% of the experts agree on -- we can still make a real, tangible difference in this fight. Next Thursday, July 27th, I'm leading an online presentation to update supporters on the very latest on climate. I'll walk you through the latest science, the undeniable real-world impact, and the politics at play so you'll be prepared to keep up the fight in your community. People like you, who know how important this issue is, are using this as a chance to host "watch parties" in their communities -- gathering with friends and families, and then leading a discussion about specific ways they can make an impact. Will you host one, too? Don't miss your chance to become a local leader in the fight on climate change -- let us know you're interested, and we'll tell you more.

We've been organizing to stop the repeal of Obamacare for months -- from hosting events, to making phone calls, to visiting with our elected officials. Earlier this week, it paid off as senators began announcing that they could not support Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's disastrous "repeal and replace" bill. It was a big victory, but Mitch McConnell is moving the goalposts again. In a last-ditch effort to repeal Obamacare, he's been meeting with senators on the fence about repeal, twisting arms and offering whatever he can to change their vote. Obamacare has survived every attempt at repeal so far, but McConnell won't take no for an answer. We have to stay vigilant. We need to let our representatives know that now is the time to work on a bipartisan solution and repeal is unacceptable. Tweet at a key senator right now to let them know:
Mitch McConnell is out of good ideas. Millions losing care, whether it's 22 million or 32 million, is not an option. Ending Medicaid is not an option. Leaving the poor, elderly, and sick behind is not an option. We started this fight knowing that if we showed how this law benefits real people -- how it's covering tens of millions more Americans, improving everyone's insurance, and establishing, once and for all, that health coverage is a right for everyone, not a privilege for people who can afford it -- that we would stop this crazy crusade for repeal. It's working, but it sure isn't over. Your voice matters. It's always mattered. But it matters now more than ever.
