Fossil Fueled Foolery Video Contest
On April Fools’ Day 2026, The Chisholm Legacy Project (TCLP) released a report. The report 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.
To celebrate this release, TCLP is launching the Fossil Fueled Foolery Video Contest to let those resisting the foolery put their creative skills to the test!
