Action Item - The Richest Corporations in History

Right now, even as they make the biggest profits in American history, oil companies like ExxonMobil are getting $13.5 billion in tax breaks.1

But in September, all that could change. Democratic leaders in Congress are bringing a bill to the floor that would strip these tax giveaways.2 Which means that solar and wind power would have more of a fair chance against big oil on the free market.

Of course, some Republicans are trying to block this from happening—oil and gas companies overwhelmingly support Republican candidates. So we need to make a lot of noise if we want Congress to listen.

Can you ask Congress to end the tax breaks for big oil companies? Click here to sign the petition.
