Hold Big Oil Accountable for Deadly Heat Waves

Across the country, record-breaking heatwaves are claiming lives and endangering entire communities. As Common Dreams reports, extreme heat is now one of the deadliest climate-related threats Americans face — and it’s being driven by the fossil fuel companies that have known for decades their pollution was heating the planet.

These corporations made billions while spreading disinformation, blocking climate action, and leaving families to deal with the deadly consequences. From farmworkers in the fields to seniors in overheated apartments, ordinary people are paying the price for corporate greed.

It’s time for accountability. Lawmakers must hold fossil fuel companies responsible for their role in the climate crisis. That means ending subsidies, taxing excess profits, and making polluters pay for the harm they’ve caused. Communities should not have to shoulder the costs of a crisis created by corporate lies and political inaction.

Add your name to demand policymakers hold fossil fuel companies accountable for deadly heat waves.

The climate crisis is here, and lives are on the line. Together, we can demand justice, protect our communities, and make sure those who profited from destruction are held responsible for the damage they’ve caused.
