Hey John,

Due to the coronavirus crisis, 30 million people have filed for
unemployment and are living out this same reality every day. We all know
the stories from our loved ones, friends, and family who are dealing with
unemployment offices that are overcapacity. 

As millions of Americans are waiting for relief, the fossil fuel industry
has pushed its way to the front of the line and Trump has rolled out the
red carpet for them. The Trump administration has set up a $500 million
dollar fund for big oil relief. We the people need to tell congress to
divest that money to the people that need it. Trump invited fossil fuel
executives-not nurses and not struggling Americans to the White House to
see how he could prop up Big Oil and Gas companies.

[ [link removed] ]Tell Congress to stop bailouts for Big Oil and prioritize the millions
of people who are reeling from the pandemic. 

The good news is that we do have climate champions in our congress that
want to ensure that we are building the future and not bailing out fossil
fuel industries. This week, Sen. Merkley and Rep. Barragan introduced the
“Resources for Workforce Investments, Not Drilling” Act or ReWIND Act.
They want to ensure that any funds used are invested in people and not
polluters. 

The REWIND Act would: 

* Keep the oil, gas, and coal industry from getting access to stimulus
money through the Federal Reserve or Treasury.
* Ban any CARES (Coronavirus, Aid, Relief and Economic Security) Act
fund recipients from getting new fossil fuel leases.
* Ban the Department of the Interior from loosening any oil, gas, or
coal regulations during the state of emergency.
* Extend all comment periods and ban new non-COVID rulemaking processes,
both until at least 30 days past the end of the state of emergency.

[ [link removed] ]Tell members of Congress to support the REWIND Act today so that
essential workers, families, and communities at the front of the line to
get the relief they deserve. 

We can stop the fossil fuel industry from lining their pockets during this
crisis. We got this!
