Build Back Better Wisconsin

We are at a critical moment in the fight against climate change, and conservation voters like you have made our success possible.

After thousands of people in Wisconsin and millions across the nation called on Congress and demanded action, the House of Representatives passed the Build Back Better Act. Negotiations continue in the Senate on the final version. We're working to push the Senate to adopt the most comprehensive version of the Build Back Better Act that can pass in the coming weeks.

The Build Back Better Act is a once in a generation opportunity to act on climate at the scale that science and justice require. We must take action to get millions of people back to work in new good-paying jobs in the clean energy economy while tackling climate change and environmental racism.

Wisconsin Conservation Voters continues to work with state and local elected leaders to push congress to pass the Build Back Better Act. Our communities need climate action now.

Clean energy, justice, and jobs

Congress must invest in climate, clean energy, justice, and jobs at the scale that science demands. We must take action to get millions of people back to work in new, good-paying jobs in the clean energy economy while tackling climate change and environmental racism. Clean energy is the fastest-growing industry in America and provides a huge opportunity for high-quality union jobs that help rebuild the middle class. We have to meet the scale of the crises we face with the big investments needed to build back better with justice and equity.

Inaction on climate is not an option. We are out of time. It is time for Congressional action on clean energy, justice and jobs.

CLEAN ENERGY: Put the U.S. on the path to 100 percent clean energy powering our electricity grid, the transportation sector and our buildings – including homes, businesses, and schools.

JUSTICE: Prioritize the just and equitable solutions that the communities most harmed by toxic pollution – low-income and communities of color – are leading, and ensure that at least 40 percent of benefits go to the communities who need it most.

JOBS: Support the preservation and creation of high-quality, good-paying union jobs across the economy, like builders, roofers, pipefitters, engineers, electricians, accountants, researchers, teachers and more.
