Around the world, we are already experiencing irreversible damage to the planet, and the loss of homelands, cultures, and ecosystems. And it is those among us that have contributed the very least to climate change that are paying the highest price--their lives and livelihoods. Year after year, world governments have protected the interests of Big Polluters and have failed to deliver the needed climate equity and action, to end the world's fossil fuel addiction, and to rapidly and justly transition to a new global system -- one that is equitable, socially just, gender-responsive, nature-restoring, fossil fuel-free, and life-affirming. Year after year, it is the greed and profits of Big Polluters that reign and continue to pillage and plunder frontline communities with impunity. We know who is to blame for the climate crisis. For over half a century, Big Polluters have known their deadly products would cause tremendous harm. What did they do? They hid the truth, sowed doubt, and invested billions of dollars to delay climate action. All in the name of greed and profits. And world governments, particularly from the Global North, have enabled and supported them every step of the way. We, the people from communities and countries around the world, ask you -- what do you stand for? Do you stand for the greedy, reckless, and deadly business practices of Big Polluters that have driven us to the brink of extinction? Or do you stand for a world where the people in your communities can thrive and where we protect and nurture the planet that is our only home? https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/kick-big-polluters-out
