As the Board Chair for Our Revolution, America’s leading progressive grassroots-funded political movement, I’d like to talk to you about Ro Khanna’s powerful progressive leadership in the House of Representatives — then share how you can join with Ro and Our Revolution in demanding transformative climate action from Congress.
Our Revolution is on the frontlines of the fights to make our government act in the interests of working families instead of powerful big money special interests. One of the biggest challenges we face is counteracting the political influence of the fossil fuel industry, so our country can move toward a green future powered by renewable energy.
Ro is one of the strongest champions we have in the fight for climate action. He’s leading an effort to end $15 billion in federal subsidies for major fossil fuel corporations, and he recently demanded testimony and documents from Exxon officials regarding their decades-long effort to spread climate disinformation and lobby Members of Congress.
For decades, fossil fuel companies have lied to the public, to regulators, and to Congress about the true danger posed by their products. The recent tape revealing Exxon’s lobbying practices only proves the industry’s disinformation campaign is alive and well.
The fossil fuel industry continues to manipulate public opinion and exert undue influence in shaping policy in Congress. That’s why Ro is demanding that top fossil fuel executives testify in front of Congress — even if it requires subpoenaing them.
Not only does our movement need to demand accountability from the world’s most powerful fossil fuel companies, which have resisted Congressional oversight in the past, we also need to show the fossil fuel industry — and the politicians they’re lobbying — that we won’t allow their multi-billion dollar federal handouts to stand. Not when the climate crisis is already exacting catastrophic damage across the country.
Ro Khanna’s campaign and Our Revolution are splitting this donation. Our Revolution will use it to fund local organizers to help mobilize now to end fossil fuel subsidies. Ro will use the funds to lead the mobilization against fossil fuel subsidies. Together we are a powerful political force!
Thank you for showing support today,
Larry Cohen
Chair, Our Revolution
