The Week of Action will feature new bill introductions, op-eds, lobby days, social media pushes, floor speeches, press conferences, tele-town halls, rallies, petition deliveries, and more – all designed to start the year with as much momentum as possible.

Why?

In 2026, it’s time to elevate “make polluters pay” as a top priority for lawmakers everywhere and pass climate superfund bills across the United States.

American families and our local and state governments are paying the ever-increasing costs of climate damages while the fossil fuel industry continues to rake in massive profits.

In 2024, Vermont and New York became the first states to pass “climate superfund bills” that would raise billions of dollars from fossil fuel companies to help pay for climate damages and resiliency programs. Now, the fight has spread across the country.

These laws are only becoming more popular: 77% of voters now support climate superfund legislation, including majorities of Republicans and Independents. 

How to take part

The Make Polluters Pay Week of Action is a chance for you to build momentum for polluter accountability in your state. We're inviting organizations, state legislators, and others to join us in planning activities throughout the week.
