Directions: The number may connect you to a menu or operator. Ask (or dial) for your legislator’s office. You’ll likely be connected to a staff member or voicemail and that’s fine. Parts in bold are the most important. If you have Senators Barrett, Creem, Lovely, Pacheco, or Tarr, or Representatives DeLeo, Donato, Dykema, Friedman, Garlick, Michlewitz, Moran, or Rush click *here* before calling.

"Hello, my name is _______ . I live in _____________ so I’m a constituent of [respective legislator] _____________ . I am speaking as a member of the new MA Youth Climate Coalition. Thousands of us are taking to the cloud next week to fight climate change and us youth led climate organizations agree that legislators must match their extraordinary leadership on COVID-19 with unprecedented climate action to protect our future.

[If someone picks up, do this! If a VM, skip!]

I’m concerned about ________ (an experience or concern you’ve had with regard to climate change especially where you live for example, increased pollution in your area, concerns about your future, flood or drought predictions, etc).

I want [legislator] _____________ to address the climate crisis by supporting 3 critical pieces of legislation:

1. Bill H.2836, which establishes strict emissions limits that get us to 100% Renewable energy by 2045 
2. H.2810, which pushes strong, specific corporate polluter fees to equitably fund a just transition to a green economy, and 
3. H.4264, protections for Environmental Justice, Frontline and Labor communities.

Thank you for passing science-based, equitable climate policy and stay healthy."
