Dear Michaela,

Share the good news: You helped stop an $800 million giveaway to Big Oil!
|
This week, the Senate voted to stop an $800 million giveaway to Big Oil. They sent the message that the fossil fuel industry can’t have a free pass to pollute our air and spew dangerous methane pollution into our atmosphere.
This is a huge victory for the environmental resistance against Donald Trump, his enablers in Congress, and his Big Oil cronies. And you made it happen!

Friends of the Earth’s research revealed that Trump’s Big Oil friends were pulling out all the stops trying to pass this bill. In the first quarter of this year, ExxonMobil and other fossil fuel companies with close ties to the Trump administration spent millions lobbying.
If the bill had passed, these companies would have been handed millions in free natural gas from our public lands -- all at the expense of taxpayers and the climate.
Friends of the Earth members like you sent thousands of emails and phone calls to the Senate to stop this bill. You proved that when we all take action together, we can protect our environment from Trump’s extreme anti-environmental agenda.
The vote was very close -- 51-49 -- and we wouldn’t have won it without you.
Standing with you,
Ben Schreiber,
Senior political strategist,
Friends of the Earth
