Friend:

Tell Congress to 

Make Polluters Pay

for the Climate Crisis

Environmental champions in the House and Senate have just introduced legislation to hold Big Oil companies accountable for knowingly contributing to the climate crisis.

 

To get Congress’s attention, we need to flood Capitol Hill with petition signatures from grassroots environmental advocates like you.

 

We’ve set a goal to deliver 5,000 petition signatures this week. Help us reach our goal right now >>

Friend — fossil fuel companies have known for over 60 years that their products contribute to worsening climate change, but they’ve never been held responsible for the consequences.

That could all change thanks to new legislation proposed by environmental champions in Congress, but we need your help to make it happen.

Proposed by Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) and Congressman Jerry Nadler (D-NY), the Polluters Pay Climate Fund Act of 2024 would require the top-polluting fossil fuel companies to collectively pay $1 trillion into a fund dedicated to addressing the impacts of climate change and investing in clean energy.

For decades, Big Oil and Gas has dodged responsibility for worsening climate change — that could all change now. We’re aiming to deliver 5,000 petition signatures to Congress demanding they take action to hold polluters accountable. Take action right now to help us reach our goal >>

The movement to make polluters pay for their impact on people and the planet is gaining significant traction across the country. Earlier this year, the state legislature in Vermont passed legislation to make polluters pay for climate impacts.

This legislation is popular, Friend — our polling shows that 66% of voters support laws requiring major oil and gas companies to pay a share of climate costs. But corporate polluters’ army of lobbyists have stood in the way of holding polluters accountable.

Thanks for taking action to finally hold polluters accountable, Friend. We’ll be in touch soon with more updates on our campaigns.

Onward, 

LCV Dirty Energy Team
