John,

Millions of Americans are making huge sacrifices to fight the pandemic. At the same time, the World Health Organization just announced that the United States is on the verge of becoming the “epicenter” of the global coronavirus outbreak.

But instead of passing a coronavirus relief bill that prioritizes desperately needed supplies for health care workers, Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump have been pushing to give away billions to Big Oil.

I’m not just angry about this. I’m furious.

After days of secret dealmaking, the Senate reached an agreement on a bill in the dead of night. No one has seen the details. They’re now rushing to vote on the bill before anyone can read it. But make no mistake: Every dime given away to the oil industry means money taken away from workers and families. We can’t let that happen.

Will you make an urgent donation to make sure coronavirus relief funds go to help workers and families across the country, not frackers and oil companies?

Mitch McConnell's earlier version of the Senate coronavirus bill included a $500 billion slush fund for big corporations—including frackers and oil companies—with no strings attached and no oversight whatsoever. Trump’s Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin alone would decide how that half-a-trillion dollars is spent. The newest bill is little better.

Meanwhile, the CDC is advising health care workers to sew together bandanas and scarves because they are running out of protective masks. Doctors may be forced to decide on the fly who lives and who dies because there aren’t enough ventilators.

The details of the new version of the bill are still largely secret, but multiple reports say we succeeded in preventing money for buying oil to fill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. But with another future bailout package already being rumored, we know we have to keep up the pressure.

As soon as details come out, we’ll be racing to analyze every word to stop any handouts to Big Oil. We simply can’t afford to let Big Oil turn the coronavirus bill into a windfall for themselves, and we don’t have much time. Food and Water Action is fighting to stop the Big Oil bailout. Will you make an urgent donation today?
