America Is All In

     · America Is All In is the "joined forces" of:

        · America's Plege Initiative

        · We Are Still In

              · "Mayors, governors, and business leaders first began signing the We Are Still In declaration

             in June 2017 as a promise to world leaders that Americans would not retreat from the global

                pact to reduce emissions and stem the causes of climate change. The bipartisan coalition has

                since doubled in size, expanding to include over 3,500 representatives from all 50 states,

                spanning large and small businesses, mayors and governors, university presidents, faith

                leaders, tribal leaders, and cultural institutions."
