Stop oil companies' greenwashing and price-gouging.

As I'm sure you know, oil companies have lied for decades about the climate impacts of burning fossil fuels. Egregiously, many of them have continued to oppose and attempt to weaken climate action. They try to block progress while making historic profits ($200 Billion alone in 2022) and we pay for the devastating health impacts of pollution and wildfires, and loss of life and property from heat waves and floods. All the while, there is no information or insight into what’s behind the cost at the pump. 

Send a message to your legislators today to hold Big Oil accountable!

Our leaders can pass a law requiring oil companies to be more transparent about their profits and prices. This law can include penalties for any possible misbehavior and for greenwashing so that Washingtonians are not harmed by potential price gouging as we transition to a clean economy.

It's time to hold the oil industry accountable for greenwashing and gouging us while polluting our air and water. 

We need our legislators to stand up for everyday people.

Thank you for making your voice heard!
