Friend, Signatures needed: Sign for climate justice and accountability

Friend, [sign the petition: The fossil fuel industry broke the law with their lies. Hold them accountable!]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( It's time to demand accountability from the fossil fuel industry. The evidence is undeniable: these companies have known about the climate crisis for decades, yet they chose to [deceive]( the public, spread misinformation, and obstruct progress toward a sustainable future. The cost of climate-related disasters in the United States surpassed [$165 billion]( last year alone, ranking it as the third most expensive year on record–and Americans have contended with increased hurricanes, floods, and wildfires the entire summer. Marginalized communities, who are least responsible for greenhouse gas emissions, are bearing the brunt of these impacts, affecting their health and livelihoods. [Sign the Petition: Hold the fossil fuel industry accountable!]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Democratic senators are taking a [stand]( by urging Attorney General Merrick Garland to take legal action against these corporations for misleading the public on climate change. This is not an unprecedented move; in the 1990s, major tobacco companies were held liable for violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. Similarly, the fossil fuel industry must be held responsible for their violations. For over five decades, the fossil fuel industry has used deceptive tactics to mislead the public about a global crisis. They've funded disinformation and backed climate deniers, costing us time and lives. It's time to bring these companies to justice for their violation of federal racketeering laws, truth in advertising laws, consumer protection laws, and potentially other regulations.
