“The attorneys representing young people who are suing the federal government in a major climate change lawsuit recently took the unusual step of filing an injunction to stop all new leases for fossil fuel production. If the injunction is granted, it would lead to a nationwide moratorium on new fossil fuel permitting and leasing on federal lands and waters until the lawsuit is resolved. No small matter. However, existing mining and drilling projects would still proceed.“

The DNC has no business taking fossil fuel PAC money. Fossil fuel companies spend millions every year to influence our elections and block action on climate change. Tom Perez should follow the lead of more than 1,000 candidates nationwide that have already pledged to reject fossil fuel money and prioritize the health of our communities.

TAKE ACTION: The DNC just reversed course on banning donations from fossil fuel companies, turning its back on those living with the impacts of climate change and fossil fuel extraction every day — as well as the more than 980 candidates nationwide that our community recruited to sign the No Fossil Fuel Money Pledge. By ringing the alarm now, we can hold the DNC accountable to its values, and deliver thousands of petitions during the DNC’s Summer Meeting in Chicago this week. Add your name today!
