SUMMARY:January Action Hour: Making Polluters Pay
DESCRIPTION:Fossil fuel companies knowingly caused climate change\, predicting decades ago and with stunning accuracy that their products would\, in their own words\, have “catastrophic” climate effects that would do “great irreversible harm.”2 Since then\, we’ve seen disasters increase in frequency and severity\, with fossil fueled fires in LA\, floods in Texas\, hurricanes like Helene devastating the Southeast\, and more. \nJust like we aren’t allowed to litter and companies are required to clean up toxic waste sites\, Big Oil and Gas must be held accountable for its climate mess. And we’ve already seen massive victories due to grassroots advocacy. Vermont and New York passed Climate Superfund laws\, and at least a dozen more states are exploring ways to shift the cost of climate damages back where it belongs — onto the corporations that knowingly caused the harm. \nEvery dollar collected from polluters is a dollar not taken from taxpayers. These funds can build flood protections\, fire-prevention systems\, cooling centers\, resilient hospitals\, energy-efficient classrooms\, and more\, creating thousands of good-paying jobs. \nEven if you can’t attend live\, please RSVP anyway — we’ll follow up with the recording and more ways to take action.
