Open Letter to Candidates
This Open Letter to Candidates has been developed by the Medical Society Consortium on Climate & Health. It is intended for all candidates for elected office and their advisors, to build understanding that because climate change is a health emergency, and is increasingly recognized as a health threat by the American public, candidates should know that they can safely discuss climate change as a health threat and thus shield themselves from partisan crossfire. Our hope is this letter could reach every candidate for office in America.
The full letter is available to download as a pdf, and has been designed for health organizations to be able to add your name and logo, then distribute and publicize. To add your organization’s name and logo, follow these steps:
- Download the pdf and open it in Acrobat Reader. If you don’t have Acrobat Reader (it’s free), download here.
- Add your name: Type your organization name by clicking your cursor into the field box next to the text "FROM" on page 1.
- Add your logo: Mouse over the grey icon in the top right corner on page 1. A message will display “Click to add your logo”. Click the icon, and follow the prompts to add your logo. Save!
- Distribute this letter to your candidates, publicize on your website, and on social media.
