John -
We have a massive victory to share: A judge in Montana sided with young climate activists that Montanans have a right to a clean and healthy environment.1
This ruling is the first of its kind, but we know it won’t be the last. This win came on the heels of multiple other legal victories from around the world that established the government’s role in protecting its citizens from climate change.
Our movement is gaining momentum every day and is only growing stronger thanks to the advocacy of activists like these young folks in Montana.
But fighting climate change is a collective effort: It’s a fight we all need to be a part of.
We all have a responsibility to fight for our planet and to ensure a healthy environment for future generations, and we’re thrilled that the Montana courts agree. What do you think about their ruling?
If you agree that we all have a right to a clean and healthy environment, add your name today.
The young people who brought this case forward argued that Montana’s policy of evaluating requests for fossil fuel permits violates the state’s constitution since it doesn’t allow the state to measure the effects of greenhouse gas emissions.
The judge affirmed the climate activists' argument, and even went so far as to say:
“Montana's emissions and climate change have been proven to be a substantial factor in causing climate impacts to Montana's environment and harm and injury”
So, to be blunt: Big Oil should be scared, John.
We’re fighting to hold fossil fuel companies accountable at every level of government, from town halls to state legislatures to the White House. And with this massive legal victory, our momentum is only growing.
We know that together, we will continue to fight for our rights and our planet, take on fossil fuel companies, push our governments to do more — and win.
Are you with us?
If you agree that we have a right to a clean and healthy environment, please add your name today.
Thank you for your support,
