Call Your Representative

Demand the end of $15 billion in yearly oil and gas handouts.

This moment is urgent: negotiations over fossil fuel subsidies are happening in Congress right now. Help us end polluter welfare by calling your representative today. Find your Congressional representative and their contact information here.

Sample Script:

Hello my name is [Your Name] and I’m a constituent of [Representative Name].

I’m calling because the climate crisis is the biggest challenge our nation and world faces, and I believe that now is the time to take ambitious action to confront this crisis.  As you know, American taxpayers pay $15 billion per year in direct federal subsidies to the fossil fuel industry.

While these companies are raking in millions of taxpayer dollars, the 20 largest fossil fuel companies account for more than a third of global greenhouse gas emissions in the modern era. The fact is that pollution hurts Black, Brown, Indigenous and less-resourced communities most. We must stop these big oil and gas handouts.

[If you have a personal story or anecdote about why you care about the climate crisis and why we need to act boldly right now, talk about that briefly here.]

As a constituent, I’m counting on [Representative Name] to be the climate and environmental justice champion that this moment demands. I look forward to seeing them fight to ensure that Congress takes this crucial step. Thank you for your time.
