Hold Fossil Fuel Companies Accountable

Dozens of communities are taking legal action to hold Big Polluters accountable. Cities, counties, states, and tribal nations across the United States and its territories are taking fossil fuel companies to court to make them pay for the damages resulting from their deceit. Additionally, a growing number of US state legislatures are considering climate superfund laws, which would require the corporations responsible for the most heat-trapping emissions to pay their share for the growing costs to protect public infrastructure from climate-driven damages.

As the toll of the climate crisis rises, it's only fair that polluters pay their share of the costs. This requires concerted efforts by local communities and elected leaders to hold the industry to account for its decades of misconduct.

Write today and tell your state attorney general and governor you support efforts to hold the fossil fuel industry accountable for its climate deception and damages.
