Big things are happening in Congress in the fight to address the climate crisis. This quote from Ro in the Washington Post says it all:
Big Oil execs have previously turned down invitations to appear before the Senate and the House before. But Ro wasn’t ready to back down.
Getting these executives in front of Congress to answer for their disinformation could completely change the way we think about the climate crisis – the same way the infamous 1994 hearing with Big Tobacco CEOs changed the way we viewed tobacco and nicotine.
Beyond this vital hearing, Ro is one of the strongest champions we have in the fight for climate action. Ro is leading an effort to end $15 billion in federal subsidies for major fossil fuel corporations and fighting alongside his progressives in the House in budget negotiations to ensure Democrats deliver on an ambitious climate agenda.
To put it frankly – there are few members of Congress who are doing as much as Ro to stop climate change, address climate disinformation, and end Big Oil’s stranglehold on Congress.
Thanks for your support. We’ll keep you updated on the hearings as we get closer.
