Stop Coronavirus Handout to Big Oil
The fossil fuel industry is trying to cash in on the U.S. government's efforts to address the coronavirus pandemic. This would require the federal government to pay billions to keep oil prices artificially high.
Please oppose any effort to bail out the fossil fuel industry as part of coronavirus relief measures.
Focus legislation on stopping the coronavirus pandemic, helping ordinary people and protecting our environment — not on bailing out Big Oil.

Why is this important?
The industry has always put its short-term profits over the health of our climate, environment and wildlife. Now that it's facing a reckoning, it's desperate for Congress — and taxpayers — to keep it afloat.
Giving billions to coal, oil and gas companies while ordinary Americans are suffering diverts critical time and resources from the very real public-health crisis on hand.
