John,

This week, we saw two tremendous signs that the tide is turning against the fossil fuel industry for good.

In New York, State Attorney General Tish James brought ExxonMobil to court on charges of shareholder fraud, and over 50 of us rallied outside in solidarity. A day later, former ExxonMobil researchers and scientists appeared before Congress to explain the company’s role in deceiving the public for decades about climate change.

These are huge steps towards holding Big Oil accountable for the damage they’ve done to our communities and climate — but we still have a long way to go. Sign this petition now to keep the momentum alive and send a clear message to world governments: it’s time to make corporate polluters pay.

We don’t share equal responsibility for or vulnerability to the climate crisis. Just 100 companies cause 71% of all emissions. And 70% of global emissions come from a single dirty source: fossil fuels.

The climate crisis is a crisis of economics, and it’s time for the false narrative of energy access limited to coal, oil, and gas to end. The rich may be responsible for worsening storms and devastating oil spills, but it’s the poor — in the Global South, in Indigenous nations, and in communities of color — who are paying the price. While we struggle to survive displacement and disease caused by corporate greed, the rich are only getting richer.

We can’t confront the climate crisis without also confronting our corporate-run economy. Act now and tell world governments it’s time to make Big Polluters pay for their destruction of people and the planet.

Forward,

Dominique
