Exxon’s merger from hell

I don’t even want to think about what catastrophic oil spill is on the horizon. But we don’t have to let Exxon win. If 5,000 of us chip in, Ekō can buy stock in ExxonMobil – then work to rally other shareholders, turn the AGM into our battleground, and shine a spotlight on every oil exec vying for a hefty payout at the expense of our planet. Can you chip in to stop Exxon’s climate-killing merger? [Donate $3]( another amount]( As wildfires raged, floods submerged entire towns, and droughts decimated communities, Exxon’s profits skyrocketed to a record $59 billion last year. It has nearly 30 billion of cash on hand! Experts say a deal to take over Pioneer Natural Resources, a major shale driller, would transform the U.S. oil industry – allowing Exxon alone to produce more oil than many OPEC countries. If we’re going to stem the tide of the climate crisis, we need energy producers like Exxon to focus on renewable investments, not send us further down the path of destruction. But to actually force them to listen, we have to have a seat at the table. If enough of us chip in, we can build up our shareholder power so that we can oppose this outrageous takeover, and future moves to expand fossil fuel operations. Are you in? [Donate $3]( another amount]( It was an Ekō shareholder resolution that forced Apple to publish its first-ever human rights policy. Now it’s Exxon’s turn. Let’s do it. Thanks for all that you do, Allison, Yasmin, Danny and the Ekō team --------------------------------------------------------------- More information: [A Mega-Deal May Await in the Oil Patch.]( The New York Times. 6 October 2023  [Exxon buying Pioneer will trigger $71 million in executive windfalls.]( Reuters. 12 October 2023  [Exxon’s Historic Shale Deal Signals New Wave of Oil Mergers.]( Bloomberg. 11 October 2023  Anything extra raised will power Ekō and our campaigns worldwide fighting for people and the planet.   Ekō is a worldwide movement of people like you, working together to hold corporations accountable for their actions and forge a new, sustainable path for our global economy.
