Friday, The Washington Post reported that President Biden "announced that he will release 1 million barrels a day from the nation’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve to starve Russia of revenue and cut the cost American consumers are paying at the pump." He then urged oil companies, "It’s not the time to sit on record profits. It’s time to step up for the good of your country."
John, the world’s reliance on oil empowers authoritarians like Putin, rogue oil-producing nations, and price-gouging oil companies.
That's why tens of thousands of people have signed on to support the new campaign PCCC is leading with a coalition of nearly 100 climate, veteran, foreign policy, and progressive organizations calling on President Biden and Democratic leaders to go on offense and unite behind this clear message:
Sign on here to show your support for this message.
Signatures will be delivered to the White House and Congress to show widespread support for this clear, concise, popular message. We were proud to organize this campaign in collaboration with Evergreen Action, Common Defense, Win Without War, Indivisible, Sierra Club, and the League of Conservation Voters -- and nearly 100 endorsing organizations!
This is an important moment for Democratic leadership. It would be crazy for Dems to lose in 2022 because of high gas prices when we are the only ones proposing the real solution while Republicans and their Big Oil allies stand in the way.
In reporting on our new coalition campaign, The Washington Post wrote, "There might never have been a better time to convince Americans that a future where no one even worries about the price of gas -- or the effect it has on the climate -- is absolutely possible."
PCCC co-founder Stephanie Taylor is quoted saying, "This is an opportunity to take aim at price-gouging oil companies and reframe clean energy as a national security issue heading into the midterms."
For Democratic leaders to correct course, they need to hear LOTS of people urging them to unite behind our clear message. Can you add your name -- along with 100 organizations and thousands of other Americans today? Sign here.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
