What we're fueling at the pump:
A call to action to stand with the frontline communities
Imagine the countless times we, as consumers, stand at the pump, unaware of the real cost behind that gallon of gas. Beyond the price tag lies a trail of ecological disruption, community upheaval, and devastating impacts on our health. Are we prepared to confront the bleak reality of our planet's predicament and stand at the frontline of change?
Sparked by the alarming stories of poisoned communities we heard at the People's Health Tribunal by people from Mozambique, Uganda, the Niger Delta and South Africa and what we already know as the atrocities experienced by people on the frontlines in the United States from Port Arthur, Texas to Port of Wilmington, Delaware to Lake Charles, Louisiana, we stand with frontline-communities to issue a call to action.
There is still hope! There are inspiring stories of community triumph that have emerged from these stark realities, and there are actions we can take to create a world free from fossil fuels by following the lead of communities on the frontlines.
Actions you can take
