Make Big Oil Pay Community Action Tour in Barre City!

Past event
Oct 12, 2023, 6 to 8 PM

The Make Big Oil Pay Community Action Tour is coming to Barre City!

Join us on Thursday, October 12th at 6:00pm at the Old Labor Hall to share your climate stories, learn about a VPIRG's new climate campaign, connect with local activists and leaders (including Rep. Williams, Sen. Perchlik, and Sen. Watson), and take community action to #MakeBigOilPay!

We know that big oil and gas companies, like ExxonMobil and Shell, have a long history of raking in billions of dollars in profits while leaving a path of environmental destruction behind. We believe it's time for Big Oil to pay its fair share to combat the climate crisis – redirecting a portion of profits to create climate solutions through the implementation of a Vermont-based Climate Superfund.

Learn more and reserve your spot at https://www.makebigoilpay.org/tour.

This tour is sponsored by the Vermont Public Interest Research Group (VPIRG), Keep Vermont Cool (KVC), Vermont Businesses for Social Responsibility (VBSR), Sierra Club Vermont, Vermont Natural Resources Council (VNRC), Vermont Conservation Voters (VCV), Vermont Climate and Health Alliance (VTCHA), Conservation Law Foundation (CLF), Sunrise Movement Champlain Valley, and Third Act Vermont.
