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 accountability 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]
