Call Congress to say clean energy tax credits work for our communities

Call your legislators and tell them: Clean energy tax credits work for our communities

Call your legislators to protect clean energy tax credits from budget cuts

Lawmakers in Congress want to slash the budget in order to pay for tax cuts to billionaires, and clean energy and energy efficiency tax credits are on the chopping block. In 2023, the U.S. Treasury reported that American households claimed $8.4 billion in tax credits for energy efficiency upgrades and clean energy projects.

Using these tax credits has supported job growth and reduced pollution while helping households and businesses generate their own electricity. These tax credits have also lowered electricity costs for residents and businesses across the board, according to multiple reports.* Repealing clean energy tax credits would cost us jobs and increase everyone’s electric bills.

Lawmakers are also considering blocking schools, churches, local governments and other tax-exempt organizations from benefiting from these incentives!

Members of Congress need to hear from their constituents that they don’t want their electricity bills to go up or to lose the new jobs in their communities created by the clean energy tax credits.

SAMPLE SCRIPT

NOTE: After your first call, click * on your phone to go to your next legislator.

"My name is [_____] and I’m from [TOWN]. I’m calling today to ask you to protect the clean energy tax credits proposed for budget cuts, including tax credits for low-income renters, homeowners, churches, schools and nonprofits. These tax credits have boosted our local economies, created jobs, lowered our electricity bills while reducing pollution.

Please don’t sacrifice clean energy investment in communities across the country to give billionaires more tax breaks. Our communities are benefiting from these programs and working families are saving money on electricity bills. Please protect the clean energy tax credits from budget cuts."

OPTIONAL: Ask your legislator to respond to your request and leave your email or physical address.
