Dear John,
Exxon is still after us. It’s no surprise that the fossil fuel
billionaires responsible for so much destruction and climate chaos are
playing the same dirty games.
As part of a climate fraud lawsuit in New York, ExxonMobil is demanding
that third-party witnesses provide documentation of all communication they
have had with 350.org and other important movement partners.^1 They’re
sticking to their strategy of delay and deception, trying to silence us
from further exposing the truth about their role in the climate crisis.
[ [link removed] ]Pitch in $5 right now to fight back against Exxon and
protect our movement.
Last year, the New York Attorney General’s office officially filed a
lawsuit against ExxonMobil for “allegedly defrauding investors for years
by deliberately downplaying the climate risks to its business and
long-term financial health." This could be the greatest case of corporate
fraud in history. Only it’s not just investors’ money at stake; it’s our
planet and society.
New York Attorney General Letitia James is set to take Exxon to court on
October 23, just one month after the Global Climate Strikes. This lawsuit
is a huge opportunity to set a precedent around the world for holding
fossil fuel executives accountable and making them pay for a just
transition to a 100% renewable energy economy. ExxonMobil executives know
this, which is why they’re intimidating witnesses and dead set on stopping
the climate movement.
We won’t let this happen. We’re going to keep fighting and keep winning
against the fossil fuel billionaires no matter what dirty games they try
to play.
[ [link removed] ]Can you donate $5 to show Exxon we won’t be intimidated
and we will make them pay?
It’s clear, ExxonMobil executives are scared of the power of our movement
and the strength of our numbers. In 2016, they attempted to silence us by
subpoena for helping expose that Exxon scientists knew and lied about the
climate crisis for decades. It didn’t intimidate us then, and it won’t
intimidate us now.
Thank you for showing up again and again to hold the fossil fuel industry
accountable and strengthen this global movement.
Onwards,
May
Executive Director
