Too many organizations fighting for climate justice are unknowingly working with lobbyists who serve fossil fuel interests. These “double-agent” lobbyists quietly cash checks from both climate champions and climate destroyers—and the result is weakened policy, delayed action, and lost trust.
F Minus is pulling back the curtain.
Join us for a digital briefing where we’ll:
Explain how “double-agent” lobbying works and why it’s one of the fossil fuel industry’s most effective tools.
Share new research, including conflicts uncovered in Oregon, California, New York, and Maryland. In California, for example, we are releasing a new study of lobbyists getting paid by some clients to block a ban on PFAS or “forever chemicals,” while getting paid by other clients to create a PFAS clean-up fund.
Identify progressive lobbying firms who’ve stuck with–or even newly signed–Elon Musk companies as clients, and show how we can hold these firms accountable, d See our exposé of these firms in The American Prospect.Show you how to use the F Minus database to identify conflicted lobbyists in your own state or institution.
Provide clear next steps for action: petitions, press pitches, and accountability campaigns.
This briefing is for:
- Climate and environmental justice activists
- Journalists and watchdogs
- Progressive movement partners
- Donors and institutional stakeholders ready to cut ties with fossil fuel influence
