Sign this petition re: Google & climate deniers

Sign this petition demanding that Google stop funding organizations that deny climate change.

Dear fellow MoveOn member,

My name is Lilyana Lopez, and I am a college student in Milwaukee who cares about climate change and protecting our environment. I am writing to you today because what Google is doing is unacceptable.  

Google has released a list of the organizations it sponsors, including groups that consistently deny climate change. Google claims to be an advocate for climate change policy. But Google has made what they refer to as "substantial" donations (without disclosing the amounts) to think tanks like the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) that were instrumental in pushing the U.S. to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement and reverse Obama-era environmental protections. In addition, Google has contributed to organizations like the State Policy Network, an umbrella organization including the Heartland Institute, a known anti-science group.¹

This is absolutely unacceptable.

Google MUST stop funding climate change deniers and do its part in working to protect the environment.

Sign this petition demanding that Google stop funding organizations that deny climate change.

Google employees upset by Google's behavior have even criticized Google for reportedly funding 111 members of Congress who voted against climate legislation 90% of the time.² If Google is so supportive of climate change policy, then why are they funding those who vote against the climate action that we need?

Join me in demanding that Google stop funding these climate confusers and start funding climate action.

Thanks!
