No Immunity for Big Oil: How Communities are Standing Up to the Fossil Fuel Industry’s Attacks on Science, Accountability, and the Law

As communities advance legal and legislative efforts to make Big Oil companies pay for climate damages, the fossil fuel industry is pulling every lever to escape accountability: lobbying Congress and state legislatures for broad legal immunity, attacking climate science and judicial education projects, and urging the U.S. Supreme Court to stop state and local climate deception lawsuits against oil majors before they can reach trial. On the eve of the U.S. Supreme Court arguments, join a panel of climate accountability leaders to learn about these brazen efforts and how communities are fighting to protect their right to hold Big Oil accountable. ​Speakers include Former Washington Governor Jay Inslee, Former New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin, and others TBA. ​This event is co-hosted by the Center for Climate Integrity and the Union of Concerned Scientists. Co-sponsors include: Climate Defenders, Fossil Free Media, Physicians for Social Responsibility, Third Act, and Third Act New Jersey.
