John, Valentine's Day is just around the corner and we've got the inside scoop on some of Big Oil’s (not so) secret admirers. ⬇️
These are just a handful of the members of Congress who have accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars from the oil and gas industry.1 They were sent to Congress to represent the best interests of their communities, but Big Oil has found its way into their hearts, minds, and priorities.
John, we’ve seen the kind of influence that the oil lobby can have over Congress. Just last year, politicians bought off by Big Oil sank the Build Back Better agenda — legislation that would have represented a historic investment in our fight against the climate crisis.
All the while bad actors like Senator Joe Manchin have done everything in their power to create new fossil fuel infrastructure with a Dirty Deal that would strengthen U.S. energy ties with Big Oil.
If we want to see tangible and impactful change, Congress has to end their toxic relationship with Big Oil. Congress needs to stop accepting campaign contributions from Big Oil, stop taking meetings with their lobbyists, and support an immediate investigation into Exxon for knowingly misleading the public about the impacts of climate change.
With love (for our climate and communities),
