Large fossil fuel companies knew they were selling a product that would harm the climate, but they did it anyway. They made trillions!
Now, some states have established Climate Resilience Superfunds, and we would like Oregon to do the same.
The fund would pay for the costs of climate change: the wildfire and flood damages, and the rising cost of hardening homes to protect against wildfires, floods, and heatwaves. We are already experiencing — and paying for — these events. The cost is only going to keep rising!
Interested in helping establish this Fund?
If you would like to help get big polluters to pay for the damage they have done, we could use you! Sign-up here.
Instead of going to Salem to lobby legislators, we will visit local Town and County Councils across Oregon and ask for their support. If you sign up, and a team forms in your area, we will connect you with the team leader.
