Most of us share the same basic belief: if you cause harm, you answer for it. That's how courts work. That's how communities heal. That's just accountability.
The oil & gas industry has spent decades knowingly doing harm, all the while its profits soared, and your utility bills, food costs, and insurance premiums climbed higher and higher.
Now, Big Oil and Gas want to buy itself Congressional immunity from ever being held responsible.
With Republican lawmakers explicitly working with the American Petroleum Institute and Big Oil's lobbyists, they have introduced the “H.R.8330 and S.4340: Stop Climate Shakedowns Act of 2026." Despite its name, this bill isn't stopping shakedowns. It's running one: gutting every existing state law holding polluters accountable, dismissing pending lawsuits on the day it passes, and handing oil and gas companies lifetime immunity.
But more is possible because we have fought for it! States like Vermont and New York have already passed climate superfund laws that make polluters pay into funds that help communities recover and rebuild. Dozens more are fighting to do the same. Courts across the country are hearing cases brought by cities and counties to recover real damages from real harm. This is accountability working, and Big Oil and Gas want it gone before it goes further.
Tell Congress: no more immunity for industries that cause widespread harm. People over polluter profits. Oppose Immunity for Big Oil & Gas.
