Activists in referee outfits will project messages onto a giant movie screen in front of the White House urging Macron to stop threatening to launch a trade dispute against electric vehicle and other renewable energy tax credits in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).</span><span class="" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></p><p class=""><span class="" style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Macron has been among the EU’s most vocal critics of the IRA’s North American content incentives. The IRA’s hundreds of millions of dollars in tax credits will support clean energy jobs and the green economic transition needed to fight climate change. These incentives were an important part of getting the political support needed to pass the landmark climate legislation. With time running out for countries to meet their Paris Climate commitments, activists are urging the Biden administration and Congress to stand strong in implementing the IRA and calling on world leaders to take bold action on climate change without lobbing threats of trade challenges. </span><span class="" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></p><p class=""><strong class=""><span class="" style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">WHEN:</span></strong><span class="" style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> 5 p.m. ET, Thurs., Dec. 1</span><span class="" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></p><p class=""><strong class=""><span class="" style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">WHERE:</span></strong><span class="" style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span><span class="" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><a href="https://goo.gl/maps/S22Qfzbt9mEh9Y5t7" class="" style="color: blue;"><span class="" style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Lafayette Park</span></a></span><span class="" style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">, in front of the White House fence</span><span class="" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></p><p align="center" class="" style="text-align: center;"><span class="" style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">###</span><span class="" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></p></td></tr><tr class=""><td class="" style="border: 1pt inset rgb(38, 92, 184); background-color: rgb(214, 217, 219); padding: 0in;"><p align="center" class="" style="margin: 0in; text-align: center;"><span class="" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></p><h4 align="center" class="" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-align: center;"><em class="">View our </em><span class=""><a href="https://www.citizen.org/news/type/press/" class="" style="color: blue;"><i class="">press releases</i></a></span><em class="">, </em><span class=""><a href="https://www.citizen.org/about/press-contact/" class="" style="color: blue;"><i class="">press contacts</i></a></span><em class="">, and </em><span class=""><a href="https://www.citizen.org/experts/" class="" style="color: blue;"><i class="">experts</i></a></span><em class="">.</em><span class=""></span></h4><p class="" style="margin: 0in;"><span class="" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></p><div class="" style="margin: 0in; text-align: center;"><strong class=""><span class="" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(38, 92, 184);">PUBLIC CITIZEN</span></strong><span class="" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><br class="">1600 20th Street NW<br class=""> Washington, DC 20009<br class="">(202) 588-1000</span></div><p align="center" class="" style="margin: 0in; text-align: center;"><span class="" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></p></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></div></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div class=""><div class="" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span class="" style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">If you would rather not receive future communications from Public Citizen Inc, let us know by clicking </span><span class="MsoHyperlink" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;"><span class="" style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">here.</span></span><span class="" style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br class="">Public Citizen Inc, 1600 20th Street NW, Washington, DC 20009 United States</span></div></div></div></div></blockquote></div></body></html>
