The U.S. House Judiciary Committee is weaponizing governmental power at a critical time in the climate crisis. This committee is trying to stop ASBN ally As You Sow and 13 other organizations from securing climate action from corporations by alleging “antitrust” violations.

Why? The committee’s subpoena claims that asking a company to reduce carbon pollution infringes on the freedom of all Americans. This stunt would be funny if it weren’t a deadly serious example of the oil and gas industry’s grip on our government, economy, and fundamental democratic freedoms.

The attempt to keep America tied to high-priced oil hurts Americans, including our businesses. This climate crisis causes weather catastrophes, and climate-related inflation that makes our food and clothing more expensive and heightens costs across our supply chains.

Over the past decade, As You Sow has successfully engaged hundreds of companies and investors to secure meaningful climate action. In response, the House Committee opened this investigation to STOP corporate climate action, to STOP progress toward net zero emissions, and to STOP progress toward a sustainable economy.

The House Judiciary Committee is actively protecting the fossil fuel industry at the expense of everyone else. We cannot allow politicians to shut down climate progress. Will you tell them this cannot stand?
