Protect people, not polluters
To the editor:
I’m writing as a resident of Sanibel to ask Rep. Byron Donalds to prioritize our health, climate, and future. This includes:
Stopping efforts to repeal the Inflation Reduction Act’s climate and clean energy policies that would put us on a path to cut climate pollution 40 percent by 2030, create 9 million jobs, and lower energy prices.
Blocking the Trump administration from cutting vital environmental protection programs in order to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy.
As a Sanibel resident these issues are very important to me. Major hurricanes have hit Sanibel four times in the past three years and in 2022 one totally destroyed my condo. I believe that unchecked climate change will make this more likely to happen again.
I urge Representative Donalds to protect people in our community over corporate polluters. We need you to fight for us!
