Dear EMPOWER members,

As mentioned in our last two Friday Newsletters, we’re asking EMPOWER members (like you) to help us tell Congress to overturn California’s car ban.

Please use this link to access our action page and send a letter to your senators and representative. The letter form on our action page will automatically look up your elected representatives and provide a pre-written letter draft. It takes less than a minute (truly).

Note: The pre-written letter is fully editable, so feel free to customize the message if you’re inclined.

Thank you for standing up for our industries!

-Charlie and the AFPM EMPOWER team

Background info:
Congress has an opportunity to overturn EPA’s December 2024 decision allowing California to ban sales of new gas, diesel and traditional hybrid vehicles — taking vehicle choice away from millions of Americans and raising costs for people all over the country.

Why should you care about overturning California’s ban?

• The ban won’t just affect California – A dozen states, representing 35% of the U.S. population, will follow California’s ban. This means millions of Americans will lose vehicle choice if the ban isn’t overturned.
   
• California’s ban will raise costs for people everywhere – Because of California’s outsized market influence, its ban will affect the price and availability of vehicles and fuels everywhere.
   
• Gas car bans are a threat to U.S. jobs – The auto and energy sectors, which support millions of jobs, will be severely impacted if this ban moves forward.
