Action for the Climate Emergency (ACE) is organizing this petition to serve as a (de)fundraiser of sorts for Big Oil by working to remove their tax breaks.


Fake fundraiser. Real petition. Real change.

Sob story time! Big Oil just has it so tough - they made  *insert heavy sarcasm* a miniscule $172 billion in 2023. And it’s a real underdog story - the oil and gas industry just pulls themselves up by their bootstraps with hardly any help. And by hardly any help, we mean tax breaks and subsidies to the tune of $470 billion over the last century. Yep, you read that right - taxpayers have been directly funding the same industry that is driving climate change and causing dangerous impacts such as intensified extreme heat, hurricanes, droughts and wildfires.

Time for us to come clean! We are not fundraising for Big Oil - we are actually working to defund them by working to remove these tax rules. This is where we need your help - we are crowdsourcing petition signatures to help us fight against the intense lobbying efforts from the oil and gas industry that are working to preserve all tax breaks and subsidies (they’ve spent more than $30 million since 2020). 

Hit the DEFUND button and sign this petition to help join the mounting resistance that is working to godefundbigoil.
