Big Oil could revive efforts to get a ‘get-out-of-jail-free’ card from Congress. We can’t let that happen. We’re calling on members of Congress to take a stand and say NO immunity for Big Oil

Here it comes. Not so thinly veiled efforts to grant legal protections for oil companies who KNEW (since the 1960s) and LIED (for decades) about their role in perpetuating the climate crisis. All while communities suffer the catastrophic consequences these companies knew would occur. Sickening.
