Fossil Fuel Foolishness Persists but the Resistance is Rising

Fossil Fueled Foolery 3.0 (FFF 3.0) exposes the fossil fuel industry’s top ten manipulation tactics, including the false choices they routinely present to Black communities. FFF 3.0 also shares examples of local leaders in the U.S. and across the globe who see through the corporate playbook, resist the falsehoods, and clear the way for true justice and a regenerative economy. The first FFF report was issued in 2019, followed by FFF 2.0 in 2021, to ensure that NAACP branches, chapters, and state conferences are fully aware of the practices employed by the fossil fuel industry to entice Black communities to act against their own interests. The original reports shed light on the deceptive tactics used by fossil fuel conglomerates and their supporters at the expense of communities most affected by their pollution. Over the past five years, more revolts have halted corporate greed in its tracks, many of which are described in FFF 3.0. Don't miss this quick guide to the tricks and traps set by polluting industries for your community — and what we can do to resist!

This Earth Day, We Focus on Organizing for Black Rural Communities

By Jacqueline Patterson, Executive Director We confront an appalling reality: Conditions have only deteriorated for Black rural communities since the first Earth Day was celebrated in 1970.

Fossil Fuel Foolishness Persists but the Resistance is Rising

The global economy operates on a foundational injustice: treating Black communities, and other frontline communities and Global South nations, as sacrifice zones. Our communities have disproportionately dealt with decades of disenfranchisement, disinvestment, and displacement. We continue to feel the worst effects of climate change and increased toxins in the environment.
