Our Mission and Values

Big Oil has lied about its harmful products for decades, with catastrophic consequences. Now, communities nationwide are seeking accountability, and we're here to help.

Launched in 2017, our organization supports communities in their efforts to hold Big Oil accountable for decades of climate deception and the resulting harms.

Our team harnesses expertise in law, science, advocacy, research, and strategic communications, to ensure that fossil fuel companies are held accountable.

Educate

Educating the public and policymakers about Big Oil’s role in the climate crisis and ways to make polluters pay.

Communicate

Communicating the evidence against Big Oil and how communities can seek justice and accountability.

Provide

Providing resources, strategic guidance, and campaign support for communities organizing to hold fossil fuel polluters accountable.

Why Make Polluters Pay?

For decades, major oil and gas companies knew their products could cause “catastrophic” climate damage but chose to protect their profits through ongoing campaigns of denial, deception, and disinformation.

Today, as communities pay the price for Big Oil’s climate lies—facing escalating costs from heatwaves, superstorms, wildfires, floods, and more —the financial burden often lands on taxpayers and disproportionately affects vulnerable residents.
