John,

Last Friday, youth activists with Fridays for Future NYC who organized the
Climate Strike in New York City gathered at the steps of the New York
Supreme Court.Why? New York State is suing ExxonMobil for fraud — alleging
Exxon hid the truth about the financial impact of the climate crisis from
shareholders.

These brave young people lifted up a powerful demand from the Climate
Strike in the US and the broader movement for climate justice: hold
corporate polluters accountable for the damage they’ve done to our
communities and climate.

Up till now, the people least responsible have paid the price for Big
Oil’s crimes. Now, it’s time to make fossil fuel companies pay for the
harm they’ve done. [ [link removed] ]Sign here to tell Congress and State Attorney
Generals to hold Big Oil and other corporate polluters financially
responsible for the climate crisis.

This case is an important first step to making Big Oil pay — but it’s not
the end. Exxon and the fossil fuel industry at large can’t just be held
liable to their shareholders. The harm they’ve done to our communities and
climate has affected us all, and that’s especially true for those of us
who are poor and/or people of color. The people most affected by the
climate crisis don’t usually hold stock in Exxon.

The call to make corporate polluters pay can’t just be a case of the rich
paying off the rich — that’s exactly what got us into this mess. Working
together, we can seize the opportunity created by New York v. ExxonMobil
to demand fossil fuel companies pay for all the costs of the climate
crisis. That starts by pressuring our elected officials to use their
authority to make that happen.

We know what we’re suggesting is ambitious, and it’s exactly the kind of
measure we need in this climate crisis. Five years ago, most people
wouldn’t have believed that we’d see ExxonMobil in court for creating the
climate crisis. We’re seeing it now because people power made it happen.
And that’s exactly how we’ll achieve this next goal: making fossil fuel
companies pay.

[ [link removed] ]Are you with me?

Let’s do this,

Dominique
