URGENT: Call Schumer
Block Fossil Fuel Subsidies
866-961-4293

The House of Representatives is on the brink of advancing an infrastructure bill that expands subsidies to fossil fuel companies<https://www.foodandwaterwatch.org/2021/09/13/house-ways-means-committee-advances-egregious-fossil-fuel-subsidies/>, adding funding for false solutions like carbon capture to existing handouts to the industry.

We need Schumer, as Senate Majority Leader, to hold the line against these dangerous subsidies.

Please call Schumer and urge him to take action: 866-961-4293

The federal government promotes the fossil fuel industry – the very industry driving the climate crisis – with billions of dollars in subsidies<https://www.foodandwaterwatch.org/2021/06/11/unbelievable-we-subsidize-the-very-fossil-fuels-that-are-ruining-our-planet/>.

The Build Back Better Act must #BuildBackFossilFree – and if the House fails to strip these subsidies from the bill, Schumer MUST do so in the Senate.

Please call Schumer at 866-961-4293 and share this alert widely!
