Exxon Mobil, Shell, Chevron, and BP combined made $71 billion in *profits* last year.

With increased global economic activity, the international price of oil jumped even as these companies’ costs remained the same — meaning outrageous profits for companies that are racing us toward climate catastrophe.

Now they stand to make *even more* profits as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine sends oil prices higher still.

And they’re exploiting the Ukraine crisis to lobby for more drilling even though that will do nothing to lower prices now or any time soon.

A bill just introduced in Congress by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse — with support from numerous senators and representatives, including Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren — would fight Big Oil’s insatiable greed by taxing these unjustified windfall profits and giving money back to American consumers.

Tell Congress:

It should go without saying that profiteering from war is wrong. Impose a windfall profits tax on Big Oil without delay.

Add your name now.

Thank you for taking action.

For progress,
