Tell Congress to stop giving taxpayer money to corporate polluters.
John,
I want to make sure you saw Mitch's email below. Billions of tax dollars are given away to the fossil fuel industry in direct federal subsidies EVERY YEAR.
Subsidizing dirty energy companies is reckless, but we can put an end to this. The End Polluter Welfare Act of 2021 would eliminate dozens of tax loopholes and giveaways that benefit fossil fuel billionaires.

John,
Climate change is happening now. But the corporations causing this mess contribute millions of dollars to elected officials in order to stop real change. And every year, billions of tax dollars are given away to the fossil fuel industry in direct federal subsidies.
But we can put an end to this.
Senator Bernie Sanders, along with Representative Ilhan Omar, have reintroduced the End Polluter Welfare Act of 2021. This legislation would eliminate dozens of tax loopholes and giveaways that benefit fossil fuel billionaires.
We can’t continue to use the energy of the past if we are to stop climate chaos and move to a clean energy future. And we can’t stop climate chaos without taking on the fossil fuel industry and halting the expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure. The End Polluter Welfare Act is a vital step toward moving us off fossil fuels.
Subsidizing dirty energy companies is reckless. Every dollar Congress gives away to failing dirty energy companies is a dollar taken from vital programs that help our communities and working families.
Food & Water Action has been working for over a decade to keep fossil fuels in the ground. And we’ve made great progress banning fracking in hundreds of communities across the country. We now have a real opportunity to push harder for the food, water and climate policies we know are right.
To make real progress, we need bold action that rapidly expands renewable energy while moving us off fossil fuels. That starts with ending the federal bankroll for the oil and gas industry.
Food & Water Action and its affiliated organization, Food & Water Watch, are advocacy groups with a common mission to protect our food, water and climate. This email was sent to [email protected] - and we're glad you got it, because it's one of the most important ways you can reclaim political power, hold elected officials accountable and resist corporate control.
