Washington, D.C. – Today, Unlocking America’s Future expanded its national six-figure digital and television ad campaign to New York’s 19th District and California’s 22nd District, urging constituents to tell their members of Congress to side with everyday Americans over greedy billionaires and say yes to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) new climate risk disclosure rule. This expanded campaign comes on the heels of a markup in the House Financial Services Committee on H.J. Res 127, a new measure that would kill the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) climate risk disclosure rule. The committee later voted to move the resolution to a vote on the House floor on a 28-22 margin..
The campaign, which is also running across Texas’s 34th District, Washington State’s 3rd District, Arizona, Montana, Pennsylvania’s 1st District, and the District of Columbia, was launched in an effort to protect the SEC’s rule from the Congressional Review Act (CRA) – a legislative tool used by Congress to overturn certain federal agency actions. A House hearing on a CRA resolution is set to occur as soon as next week.
“We encourage Congress to say ‘no’ to billionaires and ‘yes’ to working Americans who want and need the transparency that comes with the SEC’s rule,” said Kyle Herrig, spokesperson for Unlocking America’s Future. “Members of Congress need to take the side of their constituents, not billionaire oil and gas executives who are only interested in protecting their bottom line.”
NEW YORK SCRIPT:
Greedy billionaires up here and self-serving politicians in here want to hide financial risks from investors, small business owners, and New Yorkers trying to save for retirement.
It’s all part of a plan to keep you from making the best decisions with your money. But here’s the thing… you earned that money, and you deserve to know the risks when you invest it.
So call Congress. Tell them to say no to billionaires and say yes to the SEC’s climate risk disclosure rule.
