We cannot rely on Exxon to lobby for carbon tax legislation that will represent the average person. Please take 2 minutes to learn about the carbon tax and call your representatives. "Hey my name is [your name] and I want the Representative to support the "Climate Protection and Justice Act"

I wasn't sure if carbontax.org was a good site, but then saw a number of the founders worked for Move NY, and upon googling them, I found that they are fighting for congestion pricing in NY. Which signals to me that they get it.

The Climate Protection and Justice Act is stuck in the Senate Finance Committee [1]. If your Senator is listed on its membership page [2], call them.
