Tell Chevron: Stop funding climate denial and animal abuse! Quit ALEC now!

  • by: Nathan Empsall

Do we want our public schools teaching climate denial to our children? Do you want the companies we have to patronize several times a month to lobby our state lawmakers to make the schools teach those lies?

Tell Chevron: Stop funding climate denial and animal abuse - quit the ALEC legislation factory at once! Shell did, and so you can too!

ALEC, the American Legislative Exchange Council, is a shadowy right-wing legislation factory funded by corporations like Koch Industries, State Farm, and PhillipMorris. Thousands of state legislators (almost all Republicans) are also members of ALEC. The corporations' lobbyists write "model bills" that the lawmakers take home and try to pass. Many of these bills attack our shared global climate by attacking clean energy laws, encouraging fracking, and requiring that public schools teach climate denial. Deadly Stand Your Ground gun laws and attacks on voting rights have also come from ALEC.

The group even protects animal abusers through cruel "ag-gag" legislation that makes it harder to film and stop industrial animal cruelty.

Chevron is a member of ALEC, which means they're funding climate denial. Google, Microsoft, Facebook, and even Shell have quit ALEC in the past year - it's time for Chevron to do the same. Sign the petition to Chevron's CEO today!

I demand that Chevron stop funding climate denial and ag gag laws, and leave ALEC today! Shell left ALEC over climate change, and you can too!
