Urge your local officials to meet with Wisconsin Environmental Justice

Wisconsin for Environmental Justice (W4EJ) is a statewide organization that mobilizes communities and advances policy and legal strategies to ensure polluters—not taxpayers—pay for climate damage.

Copy and paste our template below to email the Governor, Attorney General, or your local officials. We’ve already drafted the message; you just send it. To ensure follow up, please CC W4EJ President Dean Muller on your message (dean.muller@yahoo.com):

​Dear [Elected Official’s Name],

As a constituent, I urge you to meet with Dean Muller, President of Wisconsin for Environmental Justice (W4EJ), to discuss strategies that could help address the growing climate-related costs facing our communities.

Across the country, communities are exploring ways to address the financial impacts of climate change, including damage to infrastructure, public health systems, and local budgets.

Wisconsin has already seen how similar efforts – like the opioid settlements – returned significant resources to communities while helping reduce the burden on taxpayers. Exploring whether similar approaches could help address climate-related costs deserves thoughtful consideration.

I have cc’d Dean Muller to help facilitate a conversation and respectfully request that you schedule a brief meeting.

Sincerely, [Your Name]
