John,

Over 179,000 people in California – including Ekō members – have been forced to evacuate as wild fires engulf their homes. Entire communities have been destroyed.

As California burns, the fossil fuel companies who created this crisis are counting record profits. In 2023, ExxonMobil and Chevron made $57 billion in profits, all while exploiting tax loopholes worth hundreds of millions. These same companies spent decades burying climate science and funding disinformation campaigns.

They knew this future was coming. They chose it for us.

The Ekō community just helped our partners in New York pass a groundbreaking climate superfund, requiring major polluters to contribute $75 billion toward climate damages – a HUGE win against big polluters.

Now they’re asking for our help again in California where similar legislation has been drafted. Let’s unleash our power as a global community once again and help make sure polluters pay.

Tell Governor Newsom and the California Legislature: make polluters pay.

The wildfires tearing through Los Angeles are no accident - they’re what happens when decades of corporate greed collide with climate reality.

The choice is simple: make polluters pay their fair share to build resilient communities, or watch as climate chaos bankrupts us and our governments, all while fossil fuel executives collect bonuses.

This isn’t just a New York or LA issue – climate change extends beyond borders, and the more places that pass laws forcing polluters to pay up, the greater protection our communities will have against climate havoc in the future.

The California legislature deadline for new bills to be introduced is February 21. We only have a few weeks to show that people all over the world support California to do this. Sign now and share widely:

Tell California lawmakers: make polluters pay for their destruction.
