Dear friends,
A week ago we launched a hard-hitting new campaign at 350.org: an all-out push to end fossil fuel subsidies in the United States.
Well, that campaign has caught fire. Thousands of people are signing on every day — take a minute to add your name: www.350.org/subsidies
Instead of telling you all the details about fossil fuel subsidies, I thought I’d share a few numbers that really make the case:
Watching that bottom number tick up with every passing second is pretty outrageous, but there’s good news: we now have an opening to end these taxpayer handouts to corporate polluters. A new poll revealed that 70% of Americans — including majorities of Democrats, Independents, and Republicans — support ending fossil fuel subsidies.
If you think it’s time we stopped giving billions of dollars to the companies that are polluting our air, super-heating our planet, and distorting our democracy, the most important thing you can do is sign on today and spread the word.
More soon,
Jamie Henn for the 350.org Team
P.S. To help this campaign keep growing, can you forward on this email and share the campaign on Facebook?
