AN OPEN LETTER TO MAYOR LEE BRAND ON FRESNO’S ROLE IN COMBATING CLIMATE CHANGE
July 2, 2017
Dear Mayor Lee Brand . . .
On June 1, 2017, President Donald Trump withdrew our nation from the Paris Climate Agreement—an ambitious agreement uniting all nations in the fight against climate change. Despite President Trump’s announcement, various institutions, the State of California and 211 city mayors throughout the United States have pledged their continued commitment to the cause. As leader of our great city, we urge you to join this coalition and take action against climate change. The people of the City of Fresno depend on you to lead them toward a healthy and prosperous future. . . .
