We will not let Big Oil win

We must take immediate action to solve the climate crisis, and we will not win unless we first fix our broken democracy.

Kathleen, With more than 70% of Americans concerned about the climate crisis, Big Oil CEOs are dead-set on drowning out our voices so they can continue to pad their wallets. To make sure their profits keep soaring, the oil industry isn't just watching attacks on our democracy unfold: it's fueling them. The fossil fuel industry has donated huge sums — more than $13 million — to election deniers in 2022. And big oil has funded politicians who voted against the Freedom to Vote Act. These corporate powers are trying to grow their influence and profits by limiting fair and equitable access to our foundational democratic rights. We will not let corporate greed overtake the voice of the people. Donate today so that we can keep up the fight for a strong and healthy planet — and democracy. Extremist politicians are spreading disinformation about the 2020 election to give cover to their racist voting laws. At the same time, they're enacting "anti-protest" laws written almost word-for-word by the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) and its Big Oil lobbyists. These bills threaten peaceful protesters with long-term imprisonment, felony charges, and unpayable fines at a time when civil disobedience remains a crucial tool for protecting the environment. The top 10 investors in lobbying for anti-protest bills since 2017 are all fossil fuel companies. 22 companies involved with producing, transporting, or distributing fossil fuels donated $1.26 million to sponsors of state anti-protest bills in the last election cycle (2019-2020). Oil and gas companies are also abusing our legal system with Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPPs) in an attempt to scare activists and organizers into silence. SLAPPs and anti-protest bills are two sides of the same coin. They are tactics used by the same corporate actors to quash dissent. We only have a handful of years left to stop fossil fuel companies from polluting our communities and democratic systems before we find ourselves at a place of no return. We must take immediate action to solve the climate crisis, and we will not win unless we first fix our broken democracy. DONATE NOW We need your support to continue pushing for strong democracy reforms at the state and federal levels, including rolling back voter restriction laws and pushing for pro-democracy reforms.

Fossil-fueled threats to our democracy

Big oil is dead-set on silencing us. We won't let that happen

Kathleen — The health of our planet and the health of our democracy are inextricably linked. A strong democracy should be the best tool for advancing climate solutions, but in the U.S., fossil fuel interests, extremist politicians, and corporate greed have hijacked our political system. Big oil is threatening the fabric of our democracy. To keep us silent and stall climate action, the fossil fuel industry has funded politicians who support voter suppression, insurrectionists, climate deniers — and attempts to criminalize peaceful protest. Help Greenpeace USA keep up the fight for a thriving planet and strong democracy with your donation today. This goes deeper than the #DirtyDeal that Senator Manchin still hopes to push through to fast-track fossil fuels. There are currently 139 elected officials in Congress who refuse to acknowledge the scientific evidence of human-caused climate change. These same 139 members have received more than $61 million in lifetime contributions from the coal, oil, and gas industries. We will not be silent. We will continue to resist. DONATE NOW Millions of people — especially in Black and Brown communities — are blocked from participating in our democracy because of restrictions on voting rights and the corroding influence of fossil fuel dollars in politics. Big oil has funded political sponsors of state-level voter suppression bills, and politicians who voted against federal voting rights legislation. They are determined to silence our voices and suppress the power of the people. We can't let them. Everyone should have an equal say in the decisions that shape our future. With your support we will continue to amplify a climate and people-centered message to challenge the politicians that are deciding our future. We will continue to call out the corporate polluters threatening our democracy, and we will continue to fight voter suppression efforts attempting to silence us. We will never back down, or stop speaking truth to power. With your support we will keep up the fight for the future we all deserve.
