Every year, our government gives billions of dollars in tax breaks, incentives, and other subsidies to fossil fuel companies — basically spending our tax dollars on forms of energy that are driving a catastrophic climate crisis. Eliminating those subsidies and tax breaks would have a big…

CEO pay is obscene

John, Over the last four decades, worker pay in the United States has stagnated while the average pay for CEOs has soared over 1,000%! We all know why: corporate interests flooding our system with money and spending big to crush any potential gains for workers. That’s why Our Revolutio…
