No Fossil Fuel Money Beto O’Rouke Takes The Pledge

I wanted to write a short note to let you know that I’ve signed the No

Fossil Fuel Money Pledge. I’m doing this in large part because I was

asked to by students that I met at William & Mary University when we

were in Virginia. Students, activists and young people I’ve met all

over the country already understand that we don’t take PAC money or

accept help from corporations, lobbyists, and special interests.

But given the enormity of our challenge to keep this planet from

warming 2 degrees over pre-Industrial Revolution levels, we wanted to

take this additional step. We know that the planet has already warmed

more than 1-degree Celsius just since 1980 — helping to cause historic

fires, floods, droughts, and the cost of human life that we've seen

and continue to see throughout this country and the world. This

warming is caused by our own excesses, our emissions and our own

inaction in the face of the facts and the science. We need everybody

on board to meet this challenge, and we don’t want there to be any

real or perceived conflicts of interest.

In accordance with the pledge, we returned any money we’ve received

over $200 from any fossil fuel company executives. We will not take

any of that money going forward. And we will continue to try to run

the largest grassroots campaign in this country.

All people, all fellow Americans, all focused on the same goal:

confronting climate change before it’s too late. Before I go, I want

to say to those students, especially those at William & Mary who spent

the time to talk with us, thank you for your advocacy and your

leadership on this issue. I look forward to working with you going

forward.

If you’re ready to be part of this grassroots effort, make your first

donation now. Your donations mean so much for our people-powered

campaign that refuses checks from PACs, special interests, lobbyists,

and corporations.
