Tell Congress now that Big Oil companies shouldn't receive a single cent of bailout money » [[link removed]]

John,

The Trump administration and a group of anti-environment members of Congress are pushing to use the next COVID-19 relief bill to bail out Big Oil and fracking companies.

The fossil fuel industry ALREADY receives $13 BILLION a year in subsidies from taxpayers, despite being one of the main drivers of the climate crisis and toxic pollution that jeopardizes the health of our communities, especially communities of color and low-income communities.

Any bills passed by Congress right now for COVID-19 relief should focus on protecting our health and providing economic relief for the families and small businesses who need it most — NOT helping dirty and polluting industries. The investments we make now will impact our health, communities, and planet.

A vote could happen later today. Send a message to Congress while we can still influence this bill: Absolutely NO bailout for Big Oil » [[link removed]]

We can still stop them — negotiations are still underway.

There are so many ways we could address the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic that address these legacies of environmental injustice to protect families' health, invest in growing an equitable clean energy economy and solve the climate crisis. We could use this opportunity to improve public health in all communities, starting with cleaning up air and water in communities of color that bear the burden of industrial pollution. We could end our reliance on fossil fuels and expand support for workers to transition to jobs in the clean energy economy.

Washingtonians have been fighting for years to make sure the fossil fuel industry doesn’t take hold of the Evergreen State. We cannot let Congress bend to pressure from Big Polluters and the Trump administration: Tell Congress now that Big Oil companies shouldn't receive a single cent of bailout money » [[link removed]]

I know these are uncertain times. Thank you for contacting your representatives and ensuring that Congress listens to the needs of people, not polluters. We hope you and your loved ones stay healthy during this difficult time.

Thanks for all you do,

Lisa Remlinger
