@SenWhitehouse Thank you so much for educating hundreds of thousands on this critical truth about the powers that consistently obstruct climate policy progress. Definitely time to ESCAPE THE CHAMBER and step up the leadership to counter this obstruction. https://t.co/Ukn8MmH5Lh

Or is this their way of simply signaling they are planning to be #ComplicitAtCOP this year. 👀
Now is the time to scale clean energy and end our reliance on fossil fuels!
🖊️ Business sign-on letter for signature (new deadline is Nov. 17th @ 5 pm ET!)👇

You know who is noticeably missing from this list of signatories? Pro-climate companies like @Amazon, @Apple, @Google, @Microsoft, and @Salesforce. Why the heck haven’t they signed the #FossilToClean campaign letter yet? What are they waiting for? (🧵2/3)
Great to see that ahead of #COP28, 180 companies representing nearly $1 trillion in global annual revenue have signed a public letter urging national governments to address the primary cause of climate change: burning fossil fuels. (🧵1/3)

Insurance companies are uniquely positioned to help stop the climate crisis. Instead, they’re continuing to insure & invest in fossil fuels, putting the cost on families.
Watch @patienceNabz, Ugandan #StopEACOP activist, bravely speak out to insurers: https://t.co/c1DwPRVw5V
Hey @lisapjackson, how are you planning to #LeadOnClimatePolicy at #COP28 this year? Here’s an idea of how @Apple can publicly lead on climate in front of the whole world!

If you’ve been following the lead up to #COP28 you know it’s being co-opted by oil & gas. 👿 Companies’ participation is key, but this year they risk complicity.
With that in mind, we put together a “dos & don'ts” list so companies know exactly how they can show up & lead... 👇
