US (STOP THE MONEY PIPELINE) : POLLUTERS must PAY FOR the CLIMATE CRISIS, not working families!

 

In the 1970s, Exxon’s top scientists told the company’s top executives that fossil fuels were causing global warming. In response, Exxon built the world’s most influential network of climate deniers, and spent countless millions funding climate disinformation and fighting climate policy. Now, coal, oil, and gas companies are moving to make sure they never have to face the consequences for their climate lies. Republicans have introduced federal legislation that would prevent Americans from ever suing Big Oil executives for anything, ever again. Email your Member of Congress today and demand they reject Big Oil’s request for legal immunity. The fossil fuel industry must be held accountable for its decades-long deceit of the American public. One in four Americans currently lives in a community taking Big Oil to court over its climate lies. Dozens of states, municipalities, and tribes are suing fossil fuel companies for funding climate denial and lying to the public for decades about the climate harms of their products. State lawmakers across the country are passing and considering Make Polluters Pay laws that would require the largest fossil fuel companies to help pay the costs of protecting public infrastructure from climate-driven extreme weather. But these critical efforts would be neutered if Congress passed a legal immunity shield for Big Oil. Contact your Member of Congress now and make it clear: you demand that they fight Big Oil’s bid to avoid legal and financial accountability for the harm it’s caused. It’s critical that the companies and executives responsible for causing the climate crisis be held legally and financially accountable for their decades-long deceit of the American public. But that prospect terrifies Big Oil executives. That’s why fossil fuel companies spent $445 million to elect Trump and his allies in 2024. And it’s why they’re pushing their puppets in Congress to give them total and permanent legal immunity from being held accountable for any of the harms of climate change. Big Oil wants to ensure it’s us who pays for the climate crisis, not the corporations that caused it. But we can build the people power needed to stop this. If millions of us speak up, we can push every Member of Congress who understands the reality of the climate emergency to hold the line on this. But your Member of Congress needs to hear from you.
