Hey John,
It is a scary, uncertain time for so many of us across the world, but
we’re all doing the best with what we have right now. Families are
sticking together, communities are building mutual aid funds to keep each
other afloat, and healthcare workers and first responders are risking
their health and their lives on the frontlines.
While we are doing what we can to protect our loved ones, the oil and gas
industry are lobbying to make sure that their profits are protected over
the health and safety of our communities. As a response to the pandemic,
Big Oil companies are looking to the Trump administration and Congress to
bail them out with taxpayer dollars instead of bailing out the people most
impacted by this crisis. We cannot let this happen.
[ [link removed] ]Tell Congress that you do not support a Big Oil Bailout while
working-class people and vulnerable communities bear the brunt of this
COVID-19 pandemic.
Every dime that would go to bailout oil and gas companies should be
redistributed towards virus test kits, ventilators, and masks; towards
increasing hospital capacity; and towards supporting our most vulnerable
communities, industry workers, and at-risk individuals.
What Congress invests in now through bailouts, subsidies, loan
forgiveness, and health care coverage will determine who recovers and we
must ensure that no one is left behind. Bailing out Big Oil is a giant
step backward toward a society governed by those that refuse to listen to
science. We need to be supporting our communities, making sure all our
basic needs are being met and investing in a just transition toward a new
economy that puts people and the planet first.
[ [link removed] ]Demand that Congress protect our communities over the profits of the
fossil fuel industry.
Big Oil companies will use this “stimulus package” from taxpayers to drill
for oil, build more destructive pipelines, and worsen the climate crisis.
It does nothing for communities facing the first hand impacts of the
pandemic.
That’s why we’re getting started right now, so we can beat this bailout in
Congress. Together, we have to make sure there’s no bailout for Big Oil in
any coronavirus relief package and push for investments in a just
transition.
Are you with us? Let’s get started,
Clarissa
