Dear Friend —

Thank you for joining us in the fight for people and planet over profits. In the last week, internal documents from Shell, ExxonMobil, Chevron, and BP have come to light¹ providing yet more proof that even their tepid, public commitments to addressing the climate crisis are a pack of lies.

These documents, revealed through congressional hearings, admit to "gaslighting" the public, expose their scrambling to disavow commitments to international climate goals, and their utter contempt for climate organizers. They expose the fantasy of dirty energy companies providing real solutions to the climate crisis, through the marketplace, when fundamental market forces drive them to extract every last dollar from every last bit of oil and gas in their holdings.

And yet elected officials keep going back to the market, and the corporate behemoths who dominate the market, for climate action. They ignore real solutions like a Just Transition to 100% clean, renewable, public power through an Eco-Socialist Green New Deal, because our elected officials are just as addicted to Wall Street donations to their campaigns as our society is addicted to oil. The Democrats, alone, have received at least $29 million dollars from oil and gas lobbyists in the last three years².

The Green Party takes zero dollars in corporate donations, and that financial independence enabled us to start the campaign for a Green New Deal over ten years ago. We need your support to make a REAL Green New Deal a reality. Would you chip in $3 today to help us keep pushing tomorrow's frontiers of climate justice?

Contribute $3

Senator Joe Manchin has received more money from Big Oil & Gas in 2022 than anyone else in Congress³. The Democrats’ failure to strip Manchin from his position as Chair of the Senate Energy Committee is unconscionable. Legislators must stop ignoring the lies of fossil fuel profiteers and find a way to halt the existing, excessive use and misuse of dirty energy.

We’re making progress on holding them accountable, but to stand up to the duopoly and win Green campaigns, we need your help. Can you spare $3 today to keep Greens organizing, running, and winning elections in communities across this nation?

Thank you for the difference you make in your community, every day. Thank you for spreading the word about Green Party candidates and campaigns. None of us can win by ourselves but, together, we're unstoppable!

In Solidarity,
Green Party of the United States
