SIGN THE PETITION

DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THE CLIMATE CRISIS

We call on the State of Wisconsin (Governor Tony Evers and Attorney General Josh Kaul) to file a lawsuit against polluting industries that have been able to get away with destroying our planet and harming countless people’s lives and livelihoods—all in the name of profit. Further, we call all Cities and Counites across the state to also file litigation against polluters.
From higher utility bills and taxes to disproportionate impacts on Indigenous and communities of color, the stakes for Wisconsinites are exceedingly high as we struggle to stop climate change.
The climate crisis wasn’t inevitable. It was largely fueled by Chevron, Exxon, Shell, and other polluting corporations who misled the American public about the devastating effects of their products on the climate.
Real and just solutions to the climate crisis are within reach, and people on the frontlines of the climate crisis have been demanding them for decades.
By taking this action we can hold polluters liable, and unlock funding that cities, counties, and our state sorely need to recover from loss and damage caused by this crisis.

As Upton Sinclair famously said, “It's difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his NOT understanding it.”
