July 2016 was the hottest month ever recorded. From coast to coast, Americans are battling extreme weather in a warming world. And in the meantime, our greatest chance at climate action is under attack in the second-highest court in the country.

In the drought-stricken West, the roaring wildfires seemed nothing short of apocalyptic. The Sand Fire alone engulfed 38,000 acres in Southern California and forced 10,000 families out of their homes. But with the most hazardous fire conditions typically developing in late September through December, the worst may be yet to come.

And for much of southern Louisiana, the situation can't get any more dire. For 39 straight hours, a freak storm wreaked havoc, claiming lives and forcing residents onto their roofs as their homes were lost to the floods. At this point, it's impossible to directly connect this storm to climate change — but with global warming increasing the water vapor in the atmosphere, NOAA climate scientist Kenneth Kunkel believes Baton Rouge was inundated with more rain than it would've been had the same storm occurred 4 decades ago.

We can't keep letting our communities suffer these disastrous consequences of climate change. We can't lose this crucial shot at climate action. We simply can't sit by in silence.

That's why we're calling on Americans, across the country, to stand up for the Clean Power Plan. **Add your voice today!**
