Join us when UUSJ hosts a briefing on S. 5653, the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act (BAAJA) of 2026 in collaboration with friends from the People vs Fossil Fuels coalition and the UU Climate Justice Coalition.
This level set briefing will summarize the impacts of the bill, its deregulatory features, and give guidance on how best to engage Congress during the Lame Duck. A vote in the Senate is expected on Monday, November 9.
UUSJ Opposes BAAJA. We find the tradeoff being proffered too steep a price, and we love our neighbors too much to remain silent or inactive. See the UU Joint Statement, on this matter for our position.
Speakers will include:
- Erik Schlenker-Goodrich, Executive Director, Western Environmental Law Center
- Ariana Kretz, Policy Coordinator, Climate Justice Alliance
- Members of the UU Climate Justice Coalition
UUSJ is a member of both the UU Climate Justice Coalition and the People vs Fossil Fuels coalition.
