Big oil is ripping you off – time for a windfall profits tax

Fossil fuel companies are using the war in Ukraine as a pretext to raise gas prices, gouge customers, and doom the climate.

*Update* For the next eight weeks we’re taking the fight to the shareholder meetings of every major US bank and several major insurance companies. This is a real opportunity for change, because every single shareholder meeting will have a vote on whether or not to end support for fossil fuel expansion. If you want to …

Last year, every major US bank committed to achieving “net zero emissions by 2050.” But those same banks are continuing to fund the expansion of the fossil fuel industry.

Since the Paris Agreement was signed, Wall Street banks have loaned nearly $1.2 trillion to the fossil fuel industry. That money isn’t coming from the government, or from rich investors — it’s coming from regular customers with bank accounts and credit cards just like you and me. Now, customers like you and me are fighting …

Just before he left office, the defeated former President Trump issued a rushed permit for a massive new oil and gas drilling project in the Arctic.

Willow project alone would produce …

Put POTUS Joe Biden on notice before the State of the Union

President Biden campaigned promised to be a climate champion, and is about to give his first State of the Union address.
