Today, I’m making history by chairing the first-ever hearing in the U.S. about fossil fuel subsidies alongside climate activist Greta Thunberg. We have one major goal for today: eliminating $15 billion in taxpayer-funded subsidies for the fossil fuel industry.
Every year, the federal government supports the production of fossil fuels through tax breaks or other financial incentives that are set and managed by Congress. This is thanks in large part to Big Oil lobbyists that influence the Administration and Congress to prop up their industry.
If we stop subsidizing the fossil fuel industry, we can protect our planet AND invest in our economy. But we need support from activists like you to help protect our planet.
If you’re sick and tired of politicians who are bought and paid for by fossil fuel lobbyists and corporate PACs, chip in a donation of $3 or more today to support our campaign to protect our planet and end fossil fuel subsidies. I never take money from lobbyists or corporate PACs, so I will always represent the people and the planet.
At a time when all the experts are telling us that we don’t have much time to act, the last thing we should be doing is tipping the scales away from a green energy future.
That’s why today, on Earth Day, I’m working with activists like Greta Thunberg and scientists from the most esteemed institutions in the world to focus on ending fossil fuel subsidies. But we need to build momentum in Congress to support ending these massive subsidies.
Your support helps me focus on holding historic hearings like today’s to make our country a better place instead of spending time on fundraising. Thank you for being a part of our movement.
In solidarity,
Ro Khanna
