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:

The White House, Washington

A few months ago, I received this letter from a Floridian named Sherman Chester. When Sherman was a young man, he wrote that he made some bad choices, got in over his head, and ended up with a life sentence without parole for a nonviolent drug charge. At Sherman's sentencing, even the judge couldn't believe he was bound by law to hand down a punishment that didn't fit the crime.
We know that Sherman's story is all too common in this country -- a country that imprisons its citizens at a rate far higher than any other. Too many men and women end up in a criminal justice system that serves up excessive punishments, especially for nonviolent drug offenses.
But this is a country that believes in second chances. So we've got to make sure that our criminal justice system works for everyone. We've got to make sure that it keeps our streets safe while also making sure that an entire class of people like Sherman isn't relegated to a life on the margins.
Last year, after he served more than 20 long years in prison, I commuted Sherman's sentence and those of many others who were serving unjust and outdated prison sentences.
And today, I'm commuting the sentences of an additional 214 men and women who are just as deserving of a second chance. Altogether, I've commuted more sentences than the past nine presidents combined. And I am not done yet.
These acts of clemency are important steps for families like Sherman's and steer our country in a better direction, but they alone won't fix our criminal justice system. We need Congress to pass meaningful federal sentencing reform that will allow us to more effectively use taxpayer dollars to protect the public.
I hope you'll take a minute to read and share Sherman's letter. The more we understand the human stories behind this problem, the sooner we can start making real changes that keep our streets safe, break the cycle of incarceration in this country, and save taxpayers like you money.
Thank you,
President Barack Obama

I come from Uganda -- from a farming community in the countryside where I learned what I know from the farmers I grew up with.
When I had the chance to complete my education in agricultural science, the hardest decision I had to make was whether to find a new job or return to my local community and teach them a little bit of what I had learned.
More than anything else, I wanted to see improvement in the livelihoods of the farmers that helped me become the agricultural scientist, pastor, and mentor that I am today. So I returned home to the Arua district in Uganda, and spent years working to pass on the knowledge and skills I had gained.
My passion is to help bring solutions to the country, and continent, where I grew up. That's how so many of my fellow Africans who are part of the President's Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) feel too.
And that's why I'm so excited to introduce President Obama to my YALI fellows, and to you, at a town hall today.
As President Obama knows, the African continent is not only in need of transformational leaders, but leaders who will make the deliberate effort to inspire those they lead to take up the mantle -- particularly young leaders, who are looking for seasoned role models to emulate.
Thanks to President Obama and the legacy he leaves with YALI, so many of us our are well-poised to do just that.
Thanks for listening to my story,
Emmanuel
