Vermont made history in 2024 with a groundbreaking Climate Superfund Act that finally asks fossil fuel giants to pay for the climate damage they helped cause. Instead of supporting this common-sense protection for people, animals, and the planet, the Trump-era Department of Justice is allegedly trying to shut it down in federal court. This is exactly the kind of policy the U.S. needs more of—not less. Sign the petition now to defend it.
The law requires major polluters to cover the true cost of their carbon emissions, from worsening wildfires to deadly floods and drought-driven displacement. As communities face toxic air, destroyed forests, and loss of homes, blocking this legislation would only protect corporate profits—not the public. Vermont’s model proves states can lead where federal agencies fail.
We need more states adopting similar laws, not watching them get dismantled. Tell the DoJ to drop this challenge and safeguard climate accountability. Add your name and sign the petition now.
