We have an important new video exposing the unprecedented $500,000 one-day contribution by the American Chemistry Council, backed by Exxon Mobil and other giants of the oil and chemical industries.
The world’s wealthiest corporations are on their way to spending $1 million to defeat Referendum 1–a grass roots effort by Seattleites to promote reusable bags, protect Puget Sound, and curb dependence on foreign oil.
The Big Oil money is fueling a campaign of outright lies and deceit. The worst: accusations that Referendum 1 will force food banks and other charities to pay a fee for non-reusable bags. Nothing is further from the truth.
We cannot let Exxon and Dow Chemical buy an election in Seattle by pretending to care about the needy. If these polluting industries truly cared about disadvantaged people, they would donate $500,000 to area food banks and to clean up low income communities impacted by their pollution.
PLEASE get involved and stop this cynical attack on our elections process, our environment, and our commitment to social justice.
Thank you.
