This is huge! The UN Secretary-General António Guterres has just used his final General Assembly speech to world leaders to pay tribute to our #MakePollutersPay movement. “You are on the right side of history – keep going.” This movement is powerful. We are changing politics. Get involved!

❤️ Solidarity with everyone devastated by the floods and landslides in Nepal, driven by extreme rainfall and rapid glacial destabilisation. This is climate injustice. The fossil fuel industry caused this crisis. They profited. They should pay for the #LossAndDamage 📸 Niranjan Shrestha / AP

✍🏼 Sign the petition here! act.350.org/sign/tax-pol... They're cashing in on war. The biggest contributors to the climate crisis stand to profit from destruction, while those who did the least suffer more and more. Let’s make them pay. Add your name, and help build momentum.

The fossil fuel industry costs every person on Earth $1,400 a year — and pays almost nothing back. 350.org's new #OutOfPocket report breaks it down. Santa Marta is the first conference ever called to end fossil fuels, and this report is the receipt. Read the full report: 350.org/out-of-pocke...

Trump is trying to ban states from holding oil and gas companies accountable for climate costs, and make working people clean up polluters' mess. @makepolluterspay.bsky.social's new poll finds it's wildly unpopular. 71% of voters, including 55% of Republicans want polluters to pay their fair share.
New polling from Data for Progress and Fossil Free Media finds that voters believe that oil and gas companies misled the public about the climate damages their products would cause and should be on the hook for some of the costs. Moreover, voters oppose providing oil and gas companies legal immunity from lawsuits and legislation seeking to recover climate-related damages.
