Solidarity with @DivestHarvard who tried to cut off support for @conocophillips and #willowproject -- fossil fuel companies aren't just polluting our atmosphere, they're spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to keep lying to us about their emissions!
"The Harvard environmental law professor at the centre of a conflict-of-interests row lobbied the US regulator on behalf of a giant oil and gas company, a new investigation can reveal." From @TBIJ ⤵️ https://t.co/NELcbYU2HL

Exxon didn't just know in the 70's, as early as the 60's #ShellKnew that they were accelerating our climate toward #climatechaos and lied to the public for DECADES. Read more here:

We're taking the biggest fossil fuel companies on for what they value most--their profits, to the tune of $75 billion over 25 years. They are going to come at us with everything they have, but none of their dirty tricks will stop us from building the better future we need.
Don’t worry, @exxonmobil – we know you’re afraid of us and our movement. While their efforts to spy on the work of activists and organizations like us isn’t surprising, it confirms one thing: we’re having an impact. Our movement won't back down. https://t.co/0dL1V9Ytqs

NY is leading the way, and we're right behind them. We're making polluters pay for the harm they caused to us all, and using those funds to protect the most vulnerable from the worst of the climate crisis. Read more ⬇️ https://t.co/WMA1gXV7tK
