Dear friends,<\/p>\n

In activism, just getting an issue onto the agenda is often half the battle. <\/strong>So it\u2019s great news to see that the push to end subsidies to the fossil fuel industry is suddenly a central part of the political discussion here in the United States.<\/p>\n

This morning, the US Senate voted on a bill that would repeal over $2 billion in subsidies for the top five Big Oil companies.<\/strong> The bill was mostly political theater and fell along party lines (four Democrats joined all but two Republicans in opposing the measure). Before the vote, President Obama spoke about subsidies at special briefing at the White House. He repeated his call to cut the billions of dollars that go to the largest oil companies each year. As you know, we strongly disagree with the President\u2019s \u201call-of-the-above\u201d energy approach, but this is a place where we can find common ground: the time to end subsidies is now.<\/p>\n

This is a great chance for us to spread the word about the need to cut all fossil fuel subsidies (not just those to Big Oil) and remind people of the essential dynamic that\u2019s at play: fossil fuel companies give small gifts to our politicians who then turn around and give huge gifts to the fossil fuel industry with our money. <\/strong>We whipped up a graph that tells this story of corruption in stark visual terms. Senators who voted for ending subsidies received $8,968,426 in campaign contributions from dirty energy companies while Senators who voted against repealing subsidies received a whopping $25,717,375.<\/p>\n

350.org is also gearing up for \u201cClimate Impacts Day<\/a>\u201d on May 5, an effort to \u201cconnect the dots\u201d between extreme weather and climate change. Hundreds of events are already getting registered on the website, from divers descending to bleached coral reefs in the Pacific to park rangers gathering in bark-beetle infested forests in North Dakota.<\/p>\n

If you think it\u2019s time to connect the dots between climate change and extreme weather, check out the new website here: www.climatedots.org<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Just as we\u2019re connecting the dots between climate and impacts, we need to be connecting the dots between these Senate votes on subsidies and the dirty energy money that\u2019s flowing into Congress. We’ve got big plans to do just that in the coming weeks as we ramp up the battle to end fossil fuel subsidies. <\/p>\n

We\u2019ve got a foot in the door. Now, it\u2019s time to shove the thing wide open.<\/p>\n

Onwards,<\/p>\n

Jamie Henn for the whole 350.org team<\/p>\n
