Today, for the first time ever, you'll be able to send a note to President Obama simply by messaging the White House on Facebook, the same way you message your friends.

The White House, Washington
For the greater part of our nation's history, the only way to get a message to the President and the White House was to send it by mail. Technology has made new ways of communicating possible. In the 1880s, the White House began receiving phone calls. In 1994, WhiteHouse.gov introduced a way for the public to submit messages online.
These days, no matter where you are or what time of day it is, it's possible to connect instantaneously, in real time, to people all over the world. One of our jobs at the White House is to keep up with these new ways of communication.
There's a new way to message President Obama at the White House
Getting a word in with the president has always been one of the White House's most popular citizen services. As President Obama himself has pointed out, "Abraham Lincoln was able to have regular office hours where people would come and wait outside his office, which was over in the residence." Face-to-face time is a little harder to come by these days, but technology makes it possible for anyone with an internet connection to send a message to the President and his Administration.
The White House's Messenger bot, a first of its kind for any government the world over, will make it as easy as messaging your closest friends.
Thanks,
Jason

Organizing for Action


It might be hard to imagine now, but in 2013, when President Obama took a strong stand on climate change during his second inaugural speech, politicos and pundits in Washington were caught off guard, surprised that he even mentioned the issue.

They thought climate change was a niche issue -- but doing what's right for our public health and for our kids' future has always been more important than short-term politics.

That's why a few months later, the President announced his strategy to tackle carbon pollution. Today, we're celebrating the one-year anniversary of the centerpiece of that strategy, the Clean Power Plan, which will cut carbon pollution from our power plants by 32 percent by 2030 -- and help solidify our transition to an America powered by clean energy.

The Clean Power Plan is a big step forward -- in fact, the New York Times called it "the strongest action ever taken by an American president to tackle climate change." But climate change deniers still want to roll it back.

Stand up for the Clean Power Plan and for aggressive action to tackle climate change.

The Clean Power Plan is the result of millions of people like you rejecting the idea that taking on climate change is too big or too hard, or that the status quo is all we can hope for. It's an example of the kind of change that's possible when people raise their voices together.

It's not the only victory we've won, either. We've doubled the amount of clean, renewable energy we generate in the U.S. Wind and solar are cheaper than ever, and hundreds of thousands of people work in these new growing industries. The groundbreaking Paris Climate Agreement -- reached last fall -- marked the first time nearly every country in the world agreed to cut carbon pollution and fight climate change head on.

We are making progress, thanks to you. But we can't stop now -- we've got to keep up the momentum to ensure we pass on a safe, healthy climate to our kids.

Say you won't stop fighting:
