To US President Biden:

As global citizens, we urgently call on you to let the Juliana v. United States case proceed to trial without any further delays or obstructions from the US Department of Justice. You’ve said that you support youth and want to address the climate crisis, but your government is abusing emergency powers in an unprecedented attempt to rip this case out of the normal legal process. These 21 brave youth plaintiffs deserve to have their stories heard in front of a trial judge. Let them go to court!

Climate emergency: Stop silencing youth!
My name is Levi. I grew up playing in the waves on a small island off the coast of Florida. It was paradise -- until floods almost destroyed my home. Hit by storm after storm, my family was forced to flee far from the ocean that raised me.

Now I’m proud to say my friends and I are suing the biggest polluter in the world: the United States. People call it the lawsuit of the century because it could help save us from planet-wrecking climate chaos.

But the US Department of Justice is doing everything they can to kill our case, and in just a few weeks we might lose our last chance to go to trial and tell our stories in court! They know we can win, and finally hold them accountable for putting our futures in danger.

President Biden is the only person who can stop the government from coming after us, but he doesn’t feel enough global public pressure to step in. So add your name now to tell Biden: let us have our day in court!
