URGENT: Oil industry wishlist moving through Congress

Tell your Representative to vote NO on the SECURE Act!

Last week, a House committee approved a disturbing bill called the SECURE American Energy Act. It's essentially a fossil fuel industry wish list rolled into a brand new package.

Your representative could vote on this giveaway to oil and gas corporations any day! Send a message to your Representative right now to tell them to vote NO on the SECURE Act it's time to protect our communities, coasts, climate, and marine life, not oil company profits. It will only take 30 seconds.

If this bill becomes law, it will become easier and faster for corporations to pump oil out of millions of acres of protected public land and waters, and that's just the start:

  • Rules protecting marine mammals — like the critically endangered North Atlantic Right Whale — from seismic blasting and oil drilling will be weakened to the point of nonexistence.
  • States will be given financial incentives to drill in sensitive ecosystems.
  • Enforcement of federal fracking regulations would be prohibited.

This bill will make drilling easier, endanger communities and wildlife, and delay our transition to clean energy. Clearly, the only thing the SECURE Act secures is increased profits for oil executives. It will lock us into decades of reckless oil and gas development. The cost is just too high.

Please do your part by telling your Representative to vote NO on the SECURE act.

We can stop this bill from ever becoming law. The resistance has already stalled Trump's legislative agenda and the SECURE Act is just plain outrageous. Your voice — combined with thousands of others — can ensure your Representative wants nothing to do with it.

Thank you for fighting for our communities, coasts, wildlife and climate.

Sincerely,

Mary Sweeters
Offshore Oil Campaigner, Greenpeace USA

P.S.The American people must join together to make sure this shameful oil industry give away never comes to pass. Please sign the petition and tell your Representative that the SECURE Act is bad for the country.

Greenpeace never takes a dime from corporations or governments. Everything we do is thanks to the generous support of people like you!
