Friend,
Last week, Rev Yearwood, President & CEO of Hip Hop Caucus, spoke at the #CleanerTrucks rally to demand that the United States Postal Service contract require at least 75% electric trucks.
Transitioning the USPS fleet from gas-guzzling to clean energy is a critical step in addressing the impacts the climate crisis is having on Black and Brown communities.
For too long, environmental racism has forced Black and Brown people to bear the brunt of the disastrous effects of heavy truck exhausts that choke our communities with air pollution.
Rev didn’t mince words when he said : “We are running out of time.” The transition from fossil fuels to clean energy can’t wait any longer.
Hip Hop Caucus is never going to stop speaking truth to power about the reality of the climate crisis, and we’ll never stop calling on the powers that be to do something about it.
Thanks for joining us,
