Stand Up To Oil

A growing coalition of groups opposed to new oil terminals and an increase in oil transport through the Northwest.

[Stand Up To Oil @StandUpToOil]

"This marks the completion of the pipeline expansion project — jeopardizing the shared waters of the Salish Sea and threatening our ecosystems, economy, Indigenous sovereign interests and fight against climate change."

We cannot afford the risks of fossil fuels.

[Stand Up To Oil @StandUpToOil]

On May 22, the first oil tanker left the newly expanded Trans Mountain pipeline terminal with 550,000 barrels of tar-sand oil.

Tank cars are STILL transporting crude oil along the Columbia River. In the event of an accident, the damages will be catastrophic and irreversible, poisoning the waters and communities that depend on it. We must stop depending on fossil fuels ASAP.

Tell Ecology: Make sure oil companies pay for their own spills!

[Stand Up To Oil @StandUpToOil]

Today in Washington, facilities like oil refineries, marine terminals, and pipelines, termed Class 1 facilities, are not required to have financial responsibility coverage.

We need to make sure oil companies pay for their own oil spills.

In case you needed another example of the danger of hauling hazardous materials along waterways and through communities.

Two full oil trains go over this bridge on Swinomish land every day. We cannot wait for more tragedy to stop these risks. #SUTO

The City of Vancouver continues to lead in climate action, winning big against BigOil

This work started almost a decade ago, and on Oct 3, 2022, Vancouver City Councilmembers voted to permanently ban all new fossil fuel facilities in their city

"The new policy will permanently prohibit large-scale coal, fracked gas, and other fossil fuel projects in all zones across the City while allowing for safety upgrades at existing facilities."

[350Hawaii @350_hawaii]

350Hawaii stands in solidarity with local communities fighting to #StopTMX. Because of the risks & impacts of the massive tar sands oil pipeline, 18 insurers have ruled out coverage for Trans Mountain.

@LibertyMutual, all eyes are on you: #LibertyDropTMX.

[West Coast Environmental Law @WCELaw]

We're calling on @LibertyMutual to stop funding climate chaos and the violation of Indigenous rights, and NOT renew #TMX coverage when their policy expires on Aug 31st. 18 insurers have already recognized the risk & cut ties. It's the smart and right thing to do! #LibertyDropTMX

[Stand.earth @standearth]

Petition delivered! ☑️ Huge shout out to this amazing group who delivered over 250k signatures calling on @LibertyMutual to drop Trans Mountain! #LibertyDropTMX #StopTMX #InsureOurFuture
