Support AB-1243 to Hold Polluters Accountable

Subject: Support AB-1243 to Hold Polluters Accountable and Fund Climate Action in California

My name is [Full Name], and I am writing as a concerned constituent to express my strong support for AB-1243, the Polluters Pay Climate Superfund Act of 2025. This bill is a crucial step in holding fossil fuel companies accountable for their significant contributions to climate change, which have long burdened California taxpayers. AB-1243 establishes the Polluters Pay Climate Superfund Program, ensuring that fossil fuel companies pay their fair share for the environmental and economic damages caused by their emissions. This financial accountability is essential to alleviate the costs currently shouldered by the state and its residents. By requiring companies responsible for over 1 billion metric tons of emissions to contribute proportionally, the bill ensures that those who have profited from fossil fuels are part of the solution. The funds collected will be used for climate mitigation and adaptation projects, with a focus on benefiting disadvantaged communities. This includes investments in community disaster preparedness, energy efficiency, and green workforce development, which are vital for building climate resilience across the state. I believe that AB-1243 is a necessary and urgent measure to address the immediate threats posed by climate change. By supporting this bill, we can take a significant step towards a sustainable future for California. I urge you to support AB-1243 and help ensure its swift passage. Thank you for considering my perspective on this critical issue. Sincerely,
