Tell Congress: No bailouts to the fossil fuel industry!

Right now, industry-friendly politicians are trying to give massive corporate handouts to coal, oil and gas companies with money that could go to working people.

We can’t allow the fossil fuel industry to profit off the COVID-19 crisis.

Dear Representative,

I’m deeply concerned that federal bailout money that could go to working families will be used for corporate handouts to the fossil fuel industry. I’m calling on you as a Member of Congress to oppose all fossil fuel industry bailouts and support legislation to ensure that federal relief goes to people, not polluters.

Specifically, I am asking you to oppose any big oil bailouts.

The last people who deserve taxpayers’ money are fossil fuel billionaires who are attempting to profit off this crisis. The industry has already lobbied the EPA to drop pollution regulations, rammed forward dangerous pipeline projects, tried to get out of providing healthcare for sick workers, and more. Meanwhile, they continue to fuel the other great crisis of our time: the climate emergency.

The economic crisis oil, gas and coal companies are facing is self-created. For years, they’ve ignored the warnings of scientists and economists and spent trillions of dollars on new fossil fuel production, instead of helping us transition to a clean energy future. They’ve engaged in greedy stock buybacks and taken on huge amounts of debt engaging in risky speculation. Don’t let them use the coronavirus as an excuse to paper over decades worth of lies and mismanagement.

I want you to support a just recovery that helps working families, not wealthy CEOs. That means opposing any attempts to bailout the fossil fuel industry, providing real, meaningful oversight over the Trump Slush Fund, and getting direct relief to those on the frontlines of this crisis.

I want you to support people, not polluters.

Thank you,
