Your Signature is Needed: Stop U.S. funds from supporting overseas pollution

Picture this: towering smokestacks releasing dark clouds into the air. A web of metal pipes snaking over the ground around a massive toxic facility. When the wind blows right, you can smell the pollution sweeping into your community. Would you want a natural gas plant next to where you live? How would you feel if you found out a foreign government was funding a polluting natural gas plant in your community? That’s exactly what the U.S. might do in Guyana, Friend. Only we’re not just funding a power plant. It’s a whole fossil fuel complex – including a natural gas separation facility, power plant, and reckless offshore pipeline. This project undermines climate goals and threatens toxic pollution for the Guyanese people. Yet, we’ve heard Vice President Harris is pushing for this fossil fuel disaster. [Please, Friend, take just 30 seconds to urge Vice President Harris to OPPOSE U.S. support for fossil fuel pollution in Guyana! Sign the petition now!]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( This natural gas plant is completely unnecessary. In fact, installing solar panels on roofs in Guyana would cost less, generate local jobs, and meet the energy needs of Guyanese communities – all without the pollution that will damage people’s health and destroy our climate. Instead, our funds are poised to support this disastrous fossil fuel project that will make companies like ExxonMobil even richer while communities suffer. And while the Guyanese people will feel the most direct impacts, the emissions this plant causes will have global consequences – climate-fueled fires, floods, droughts, and storms will intensify. The U.S. has pledged not to support new fossil fuel projects like this one. Without your help, we could violate our own commitment!
