Last week, the Biden Administration announced its decision to pause approval of 17 new liquified natural gas (LNG) export terminals!1
It is a major first step, but we know what must come after the pause: a rejection of these LNG projects and a full phaseout of ALL fossil fuels.
LNG is a fossil fuel, and the largest of these proposed export facilities, CP2, would be located in the Gulf region and have 20 times the emissions of the Willow Project in Alaska.2
These carbon bomb export projects would be disastrous for our planet and frontline communities — like those in the Gulf Coast who have fought against gas and oil projects and for their homes and lives for decades.
Although the Biden Administration and Energy Secretary Granholm have made a significant stand against fossil fuels, it is not enough on its own. They must now take the next step: fully reject all LNG terminals and phase out fossil fuels. But we need your help to show massive resistance to these projects.
Can you send a message to the Biden Administration and ask them to stop all new LNG export terminals permanently?

Frontline communities in the Gulf have been leading the fight against LNG for years. And just earlier this month, our movement showed up at the Americas Energy Summit to help amplify their message: the LNG industry is not welcome there.
The Americas Energy Summit is a fossil fuel industry gathering in New Orleans to promote liquified natural gas and other fracked-gas energy sources that place disproportionate environmental and health burdens on Gulf Coast communities.
We joined Sunrise NOLA, 350 NOLA, Movement Catalyst, and other partners to intervene both inside and outside of the summit to let the LNG industry know that they are NOT welcome in the Gulf Coast region, or anywhere.3
The energy from our movement was powerful.
Candice Fortin, our U.S. Campaigns Manager, said about the event: “America’s Energy Summit may have kicked a few of us out, but we just ran up with hundreds more.”
Now, we need your help to keep this momentum strong and ensure that Biden continues to feel the pressure from our movement to STOP these projects once and for all.
Will you send a message to the White House right now calling on the Biden Administration to stop all 17 proposed LNG gas projects?
With determination,
Team 350

Do you think the billionaires who run our financial system are using their power to get our economy off of fossil fuels? Are billionaires helping us build a future with clean free energy? Healthy lungs and clean air?

| But billionaires are not the only big fish in the economy. State Pension Funds are worth trillions of dollars - Washington's Pension Fund alone is worth over $200 billion - and the source of that money is ordinary peoples retirement funds. If any power in the financial system should take the long view of how climate change will hurt the economy and pension fund returns, it should be state pension funds. These funds are responsible for ensuring public employees like myself have a healthy pension to retire with decades from now.
That’s why we’ve launched a campaign to get the Washington State Investment Board to use their significant shareholder power to push the financial and corporate sectors to take meaningful climate action and to incorporate climate financial risk into their investment risk calculus. And we want your help!
Join us for a campaign information session - next Tuesday, Feb. 13th at 6PM to learn more and get plugged in.
