Exxon Mobil oil refinery

John,

News is breaking fast: evil Exxon is racing to close on one of the largest oil company takeovers in history and usher in a new wave of seismic oil mergers from hell that would consolidate the oil industry’s power over us. 

At a time when the Amazon is literally burning and the Swiss Alps just lost an entire glacier, this $60 billion oil disaster would be a nail in the coffin for our planet – and all of us. I don’t even want to think about what catastrophic oil spill is on the horizon.

But we don’t have to let Exxon win. If 5,000 of us chip in, Ekō can buy stock in ExxonMobil – then work to rally other shareholders, turn the AGM into our battleground, and shine a spotlight on every oil exec vying for a hefty payout at the expense of our planet.

Can you chip in to stop Exxon’s climate-killing merger?

As wildfires raged, floods submerged entire towns, and droughts decimated communities, Exxon’s profits skyrocketed to a record $59 billion last year. It has nearly 30 billion of cash on hand! 

Experts say a deal to take over Pioneer Natural Resources, a major shale driller, would transform the U.S. oil industry – allowing Exxon alone to produce more oil than many OPEC countries.

If we’re going to stem the tide of the climate crisis, we need energy producers like Exxon to focus on renewable investments, not send us further down the path of destruction.

But to actually force them to listen, we have to have a seat at the table. 

If enough of us chip in, we can build up our shareholder power so that we can oppose this outrageous takeover, and future moves to expand fossil fuel operations. Are you in?

It was an Ekō shareholder resolution that forced Apple to publish its first-ever human rights policy. Now it’s Exxon’s turn. Let’s do it. 

Thanks for all that you do,
Allison, Yasmin, Danny and the Ekō team
