Subject: TAKE ACTION: Tell legislators to STOP subsidizing corporate polluters

Friend, do you know what the difference is between ice and water?

It’s one degree. That’s all it takes to turn solid ice into flowing water. That’s all it takes to tip the delicate balance of our world into climate chaos that will impact people alive today.

But don’t let that turn you to hopelessness. Every ounce of carbon we keep in the ground and out of the atmosphere matters. And every person who commits to taking a stand against Big Oil and their lobbyists can make a difference.

California’s commitment to the climate crisis has to be just that: a commitment. We can’t afford to subsidize Big Oil through corporate benefits and tax loopholes while cutting climate funding in next year’s state budget.

Will you sign our petition urging California legislators to stop subsidizing fossil fuel polluters?

In 2022, Chevron was the third-largest company in the state by revenue. They benefited from multiple tax loopholes and fossil fuel subsidies while cheering about their record $35.5 billion in profits.

And they're still receiving these government subsidies despite being able to spend millions of dollars lobbying our communities' representatives.

Earlier this year, a coalition of more than 50 environmental groups called on Governor Newsom to close multiple tax loopholes that allow the biggest polluters in the state to divert tax dollars from critical climate programs into their pockets.

In the last year, we’ve seen what happens when ordinary people across California raise their voices and demand climate action from our legislators.

With your help, we passed historic first-in-the-nation legislation to force major polluters to fully report all of their emissions to the public. With 2024 fast approaching, we need YOUR voice in the fight for a bold, effective climate budget.

The first step to a strong climate budget? Ending taxpayer handouts for Big Oil and their pals, and using those savings to fund the climate programs that experienced budget cuts in 2023.

Please sign our petition to tell California leaders to close the loopholes, end fossil fuel handouts, and prioritize the critical climate programs we need to navigate this crisis >>

Let’s not wait for another degree of change. The time to make a difference is right now.

Thank you for standing with us,
