John,
Right now, we’re witnessing firsthand the devastating impacts of climate change.
Deadly climate-fueled fires have forced thousands to evacuate their homes and have poisoned the air for millions across California and Oregon. Now smoke from these wildfires is even reaching the East Coast. And earlier this month, NOAA predicted a ‘very active’ hurricane season with up to 25 named storms. Two of those hurricanes have already hit the Gulf Coast.
With global temperatures rising, we will continue to see more extreme weather disasters. This is why our work to ban fracking, stop new drilling permits, shut down dangerous fossil fuel infrastructure, and transition to 100% clean, renewable energy by 2030 is more critical than ever.
Representatives Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) and Nanette Diaz Barragán (D-CA) have introduced legislation that would move us toward a future without fossil fuels – the Future Generations Protection Act would ban fracking, oil and gas exports, and new fossil fuel power plants. We need your help to rally behind this groundbreaking legislation.
Send a message to your representative today asking them to cosponsor the Future Generations Protection Act.

Prices for fracked oil and gas have collapsed and demand has cratered. The world is drowning in fossil fuels that no one wants.
Yet Big Oil & Gas continues to push for ways to build dangerous new infrastructure like power plants and export facilities in order to artificially prop up demand. Its goal is to drill every penny of profit out of its dying industry — no matter how much greenhouse gas it spews into the atmosphere, pushing the planet toward irreversible climate chaos. But we are not going to let that happen.
We can’t regulate our way to a “clean” fossil fuel industry. Every step of fracked gas production and use — from wells to pipelines to compressor stations to power plants — is dangerous and dirty. It means leaks, explosions and deadly pollution. Exporting oil and gas locks us into more drilling, more fracking and more deadly infrastructure.
Big Oil & Gas has spent decades buying policies to keep its failing industry afloat and stop the growth of clean, renewable alternatives. But with your help, we can push for the solutions we need to fight climate change, like the Future Generations Protection Act. This is the essential and urgent climate action we need NOW.

We must drastically cut greenhouse gases by stopping the extraction and burning of fossil fuels. The Future Generations Protection Act is a real step toward the 100% clean, renewable energy future we need to avert the worst impacts of climate change.
