Dear [Senator/Representative XX},

As your constituent, I’m writing to ask you to do more to help vulnerable communities around the world adapt to the impacts of climate change. I’m urging you to vote YES on Senate Bill S.1796 and House Bill H.2833 to allow taxpayers in Massachusetts to do more to support communities battling climate change.
 
The benefits of the bill are clear:

First, it helps the world’s most vulnerable. All funds raised through this bill will go to a special United Nations fund singularly focused on supporting communities most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change and who have the least resources to protect themselves. In the wake of devastating hurricanes in the Caribbean and deadly monsoons in Bangladesh, the time to act is now. 

Second, it shows support for the Paris Climate Agreement. This groundbreaking legislation will be the first of its kind, allowing individuals to contribute directly to international climate finance that supports the Paris Agreement. Massachusetts has the opportunity to provide a leading example of state-led action to support the Paris Agreement that will be acknowledged across the world.

Finally, it encourages my fellow Massachusetts residents to make a global impact. Climate change is a global challenge that requires individual solutions and this bill provides Massachusetts residents an easily accessible opportunity to take global action and make a meaningful difference in the lives of those most affected by climate change.

I ask that you show your support for S.1796/H.2833 and vote YES on the legislation.

Thank you.
