Today we’re at the #MakeThemPay demonstration in London to demand that those responsible for climate breakdown and rising inequality pay up.

While polluting corporations and billionaires are allowed to destroy our planet, ordinary people are made to live with the consequences.

The stakes couldn’t be clearer:
🥵 we’re coming out of the 4th heatwave of the summer
🔥 a record amount of land has been burnt by wildfires already this year
🤑 and CEOs of the most polluting industries in the UK are getting richer

With its massive profits, the oil and gas industry has a chance to lead the energy transition.

Instead, it is driving its business into a dead end and leaving everyday people to pay the price of climate catastrophe. #ClimateAction

Trump is trying to ban states from holding oil and gas companies accountable for climate costs, and make working people clean up polluters' mess.

@makepolluterspay.bsky.social's new poll finds it's wildly unpopular. 71% of voters, including 55% of Republicans want polluters to pay their fair share.
