Tell Congress: Stop The Oil Profiteering

Members of Congress

Big Oil is making record profits at the expense of working people across the country and around the world. Since Russia has invaded Ukraine, Big Oil companies have made billions by keeping prices high, using those undo profits to reward wealthy shareholders and put millions directly into the pockets of their CEOs. It’s time to end Big Oil's stranglehold on our economy and national security and use their profits to help people struggling with high gas prices.

Congress must pass a windfall profits tax to stop Big Oil's profiteering, help families, and usher in a new era of accountability on unfettered profits and corporate greed. Take action with us to push Congress to STOP Big Oil’s profiteering. Let’s create a fossil free future together.

It’s time to put an end to Big Oil’s profiteering. Big Oil companies shouldn’t be raking in record profits while working people struggle to make ends meet. Thus far this year, Big Oil giants have made over $300 billion, and paid out their wealthy shareholders. The industry has been leveraging the crisis in Ukraine as an excuse to push for more drilling domestically while raising gas prices and protecting its bottom line. Congress can enact stronger measures to stop the oil profiteering and provide an alternate way forward for the Biden administration—one that is much smarter and safer than the oil industry's plan to drill more, raise inflation rates, and build additional export infrastructure. We urge you to stand with working people: start by passing a windfall tax that makes Big Oil pay a tax on their profits to fund checks for every American.
