Treat fossil fuels like tobacco companies

Big Tech cashes checks from Big Oil―and we are all paying the price.

Tell Facebook, Google, Twitter, LinkedIn and TikTok: Your platforms have banned tobacco advertising, citing the harm tobacco products inflict on public health. Climate change poses an even greater threat to the public, and fossil fuel companies are fueling this crisis. Now, fossil fuel companies are using the same advertising tactics to greenwash their reputations, and obstruct climate action. Stop profiting from pollution: ban advertisements from fossil fuel companies, their trade associations, and front groups on your platforms! SIGN THE PETITION! Pamela, Big Tech cashes checks from Big Oil―and we are all paying the price. The very corporations who have spent decades profiting from polluting the earth and obfuscating those impacts are now engaged in a propaganda campaign with existential stakes―either Big Oil corporations survive in their current form, or humanity does. It's time for Big Tech to stand up to Big Oil and take away their propaganda tools. We must ban fossil fuel ads, just like we did to Big Tobacco. Sign now!   Big Tobacco must be the model. Its ads became toxic, and the FCC regulated them out of television and radio, and they were called 'merchants of death.' But compared to Big Oil, Tobacco companies offer death on a much smaller scale. There's nothing respectable about working for a corporation that's pro-climate crisis. Oil money is blood money. This is the kind of culture change that it will take to combat the climate crisis. Change will come to Washington when we make it. SIGN NOW: Social media companies must ban fossil fuel propaganda from their ad networks! Thanks, Mike Phelan Progress America DONATE NOW Sent via ActionNetwork.org.
