 | |  | | |  | | | | Pamela, | | | | We rounded up our 2025 victories and we proved this: People, not politicians, are confronting billionaire polluters. And together, we're winning. | | | | Where governments failed, communities stepped up — blocking pipelines, launching renewable energy solutions, and demanding justice. | | | | With you beside us, the 350.org movement rose up with that same energy. Here's the latest. | | | - Tax Their Billion's Campaign:
Through our Tax Their Billions campaign in France, we pushed the French Senate to consider a 2% levy on fortunes over €100 million that could be invested in climate action and public services. Although the proposal fell just 30 votes short, more than 65,000 people took action, many mayors now publicly back fair taxation, and 86% of the French population support it. We're truly building momentum for wealth taxes to be included in national budgets, local elections, and in wider calls for taxing the rich to pay for clean transport, renewable energy, and public services. There is no turning back: European governments will be held accountable if they fail to tax billionaires who wreck the planet. - Forcing banks to pull fossil fuel funding:
Thanks to the StopEACOP coalition we lead, 40+ banks and 30+ insurance companies were forced to walk away from the East Africa Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP), the region's most destructive fossil fuel expansion. While we must stop the pipeline for good, communities across Uganda and Tanzania now have a stronger foothold to fight for a just, renewable future. - Stopping fossil fuel companies from passing their costs on to consumers:
Working with 117 local groups, we pressured energy companies in the U.S. to stop passing hidden fossil-fuel lobbying costs onto customers. In Maryland, we helped ban energy companies from charging households the money owed by fossil fuel corporations, saving residents $3 million a year. | | | | Last year, we formed a worldwide wave of action no leader could ignore. Now we must turn our political momentum into concrete plans and global cooperation, strengthening our grassroots power to reshape energy policy. | | | | With your support, we are leading the renewable energy revolution. | | | Olivia Langhoff
