To: Tom Perez, Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman
Tell the DNC: Keep fossil fuel money out!
The DNC should follow the leadership of over 950 candidates and politicians from across the country who have pledged to reject ALL contributions from oil, gas, and coal companies. It’s long past time for our politicians and political candidates to protect the health of our families, our climate, and our democracy over fossil fuel industry profits.
Why is this important?
The DNC just reversed course on banning donations from fossil fuel companies, turning its back on those living with the impacts of climate change and fossil fuel extraction every day — as well as the more than 950 candidates nationwide that our community recruited to sign the No Fossil Fuel Money Pledge.
DNC executives are keeping quiet about the Friday night vote — they know taking polluter money isn’t a good look for the Party — but resistance from DNC membership is growing and the press is beginning to take notice.
By ringing the alarm now, we can hold the DNC accountable to its values, and force a new vote during the DNC’s Summer Meeting in Chicago in two weeks.
