Tell Congress: Block any new fossil fuel handouts!

Write to your members of Congress and urge them to do everything in their power to stop the fossil fuel side deal with Sen. Manchin.

Make your voice heard

As your constituent, I am writing to relay my opposition to the so-called “permitting reform” legislation drafted by the fossil fuel industry and pushed by Senator Manchin. I urge you to do all you can to oppose and block this legislation.

Further handouts to the fossil fuel industry are unacceptable. I understand that the final legislation has not been released, but the draft text and one-page summary of the deal are a disaster – it guts bedrock environmental protections, endangers public health, fast-tracks harmful fossil fuel projects, and would push toward completion of the Mountain Valley Pipeline, along with other dangerous projects.

I am calling on you to pledge right now to oppose all further fossil fuel handouts. Time and again, the fossil fuel industry pours its wastes into the hardest hit communities. Minority, low-income, and indigenous populations frequently bear a disproportionate burden of environmental harms and adverse health outcomes, and as a result face higher levels of premature deaths. Protecting our communities and climate is more important than giving another gift to the fossil fuel industry. Stand with the communities impacted by fossil fuels and the climate crisis, and stop this dirty deal.

Send the Letter

As part of the deal to pass the Inflation Reduction Act, Senators Manchin and Schumer are introducing a separate piece of legislation that would fast-track permit approvals for dangerous fossil fuel projects in September. This is a dirty deal written by and for the fossil fuel industry. Leader Schumer could attach this legislation to a must-pass government spending bill this September, so we must do everything we can to stop this legislation in its tracks. Write to your Members of Congress to pledge right now to block any new fossil fuel handouts!
