Washington, DC – Gina McCarthy, the Managing Co-Chair of America is All In and former White House national climate advisor, released the following statement on the second anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act:

"I can see, feel, and taste that a clean energy future is not only possible – it’s underway thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act. In two years, we’ve created more than 330,000 jobs - all while helping hard-working families breathe cleaner air and save money on their energy bills. Just imagine what we can do in ten years of this law.

"Republicans, Democrats, and business leaders all across the country support the IRA because we’re bringing Made in America back. Skills are growing. Companies are growing. Local economies are growing. Hundreds of new manufacturing facilities are being built and investments are pumping in throughout the supply chain.

"This progress is proof that we can achieve our climate goals, cut pollution, and improve health when the federal government, cities, states, and businesses are working together."

About America Is All In
America Is All In is the most expansive coalition of leaders ever assembled in support of climate action in the United States. Mobilizing thousands of U.S. cities, states, tribal nations, businesses, schools, and faith, health, and cultural institutions, the coalition is focused on pushing and partnering with the federal government to develop an ambitious, all-in national climate strategy that meets the urgency of the climate crisis; scaling climate action around the country to accelerate the transition to a 100 percent clean energy economy; and promoting the leadership of non-federal actors on the world stage.

Led by the U.N. Secretary General’s Special Envoy on Climate Ambition and Solutions Michael R. Bloomberg, Washington Governor Jay Inslee, Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles, Apple Vice President of Environment, Policy and Social Initiatives Lisa Jackson, and former White House National Climate Advisor and 13th U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Gina McCarthy, America Is All In is driving a nationwide movement to cut U.S. emissions in half or more by 2030 from 2005 levels and reach net zero emissions by 2050, while guarding against the impacts of climate disruption.

Alongside whole-of-government action on climate, America Is All In champions a whole-of-society mobilization to deliver the transformational change that science demands, with the goal of a healthy, prosperous, equitable, and sustainable future.
