<p><strong>Thank you!</strong> Because of your action, the landmark climate bill just passed committee and came one step closer to becoming law.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>But with a full vote looming in the House of Representatives, there's still much more work to do.</strong> The bill has some protections for poor people, but it's still not enough.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Poor communities and countries didn't create the climate change problem, but they have to deal with the consequences of our pollution: <strong>more floods, droughts, debilitating storms, crop loss, and disease. </strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The historic climate change and clean energy bill &ndash; on its way to a vote in Congress very soon &ndash; provides some resources to help vulnerable communities prepare for climate-related disasters. But it's far from enough!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We need more solutions like <strong>early warning systems for storms, innovative irrigation techniques for drought, and funds to help poor people develop clean energy alternatives.</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It's time for America to be a global leader on climate change &ndash; and it all starts with protecting poor and vulnerable communities worldwide.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://act.oxfamamerica.org/site/R?i=1R5hLaknZUYGyRkG7n9Alg.."><strong>Please take action today. Tell Congress to increase funding to help vulnerable communities build their resilience to climate change.</strong></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For too long the United States has refused to cooperate with other nations to address climate change &ndash; but with millions around the world suffering from climate-related disasters, the time for a new direction is now.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thank you,</p>
