Earlier this month, an Exxon lobbyist was caught undercover, bragging how the fossil fuel giant weakened climate and corporate tax priorities in President Biden’s infrastructure bill. The lobbyist highlighted the key role that some Democrats play in furthering Exxon’s agenda in Congress.
Oceans are on fire and public infrastructure is melting, yet members of Congress continue to accept money from oil and gas corporations and fail to act boldly on climate change. Through thousands of dollars in campaign contributions and influential lobbying, oil and gas companies like Exxon have evaded accountability and lied to the public, regulators, and Congress about the actual danger posed by their industry practices.
Justice Democrats in Congress are leading the effort to tackle climate change by fighting against corruption and holding companies like Exxon accountable for the harm they’ve caused — but they need your help.
