Hi all!
Exciting news!! This Thursday, September 12th, Senator Van Hollen and Congressman Nadler are introducing the Polluters Pays Climate Fund Act of 2024!
This is a groundbreaking piece of legislation designed to hold the largest fossil fuel companies accountable for knowingly contributing to the climate crisis. This legislation would require top-polluting fossil fuel companies to collectively pay $1 trillion over 10 years into a fund dedicated to addressing the impacts of climate change and investing in a cleaner, more resilient future.
This is a critical moment to support our champs that are holding the fossil fuel industry accountable! Here are three ways you can help this week--
2) In DC? Show up this Thursday, the 12th, at 12:30pm to the Polluters Pays Climate Fund Act of 2024 press conference! This is a great way to show our champs and the media that there is support for this legislation. Show up at the Senate Swamp this Thursday, 9/12, at 12:30pm!
3) Amplify! See the Polluter Pays messaging toolkit HERE-- which we will be updating with additional social guidance as the introduction gets closer!
Thanks all! Please feel free to reach out with any questions and hope to see you this Thursday!
