Please join us in signing this petition sponsored by Fossil Free Media.
As climate disasters like floods, fires, and hurricanes intensify, Big Oil companies are lobbying Congress for blanket immunity from any laws or legislation that could hold them accountable for fueling the crisis.
Join us in urging Congress to reject Big Oil’s call for immunity and to protect our right to hold fossil fuel companies accountable.
Big Oil companies knew decades ago that their fossil fuel products could cause “catastrophic” consequences, but they lied to the public to protect their profits. Now more than 1 in 4 people in the United States live in a state or community that is taking major fossil fuel companies to court to hold them accountable for this deception and a growing number of states are passing or considering Climate Superfund laws that would make polluters pay for the growing costs of climate damages.
Big Oil is turning to its allies in the Trump administration and Congress to try and secure an industry-wide “liability waiver” that could help them escape accountability and take away our right to make corporations pay when they cause harm. We must stop them.
Sign this petition to Congress to oppose giving Big Oil a “get-out-of-jail-free” card. Together we can win this fight and protect our progress.
