Stop Pollution From Toxic Inactive Wells

The oil and gas industry has left millions of wells unplugged across the country, which can still leak toxic and climate-warming chemicals even when they are inactive. The Department of the Interior (DOI) is developing a grant program to clean up and plug these discarded "zombie" wells. We need them to follow through on their oil well cleanup grants and make the qualifications much stricter.

Sign our petition today to stop the pollution from toxic inactive wells!

Join Us to Stop Dirty Banks

For years, we've been asking the big US banks to do more to curb climate change, including that they stop funding climate change through their investment in the fossil fuel industry. If the banks won't cut it out, we are threatening to close our accounts, cut up our credit cards, and boycott them. Join us and our friends at Third Act for a day of action on March 21, 2023!
