Friend, We recently asked you to sign a petition telling the government to hold Big Polluters accountable for the climate crisis. Government officials in two states are actually taking action so now we need to push Congress and other states. Take action with Green America and our allies: Tell your members of Congress and state’s Attorney General to hold Big Polluters liable for the climate crisis. For decades, Big Polluters like Exxon, Shell, and others have known that their products are fueling disastrous climate change. Despite this, they’ve spent billions of dollars to manufacture doubt and denial about the causes of climate change, discredit science, buy political influence, and delay action. Meanwhile, these corporations are making record profits -- all at the expense of people in the Global South, and people of color and low-income communities around the world, including in the United States. Take action with Green America and our allies: Hold Big Polluters liable for the damage they’re knowingly causing and make them pay for the solutions we need for a just, sustainable future. People are fighting to protect their homelands from rising seas, their loved ones from extreme weather events, and their lives and livelihoods from floods, droughts, pipelines, brutal fossil fuel extraction, deforestation, destruction of natural ecosystems, land grabs, and other violations of their rights. New York Attorney General Letitia James is suing Exxon for deceiving its shareholders, other regions are filing lawsuits as well, and the U.S. Conference of Mayors voted to oppose any limits on such lawsuits. Now is a crucial time, in the lead-up to December’s international climate treaty meetings (COP25), as the U.S. presidential elections heat up, and as U.S. state Attorneys General decide whether to investigate the fossil fuel industry’s decades of climate deception. Please act now with Green America and our allies. Click “send letters” to email your U.S. Senators, your Representative in the U.S. House, and then your state’s Attorney General and say: I’m counting on you to hold Big Polluters accountable. Thanks for all you do for a greener world, |
