This Mother’s Day join Oil Change International and the 1Sky campaign to take action on behalf of your children and all children. In connection with efforts 1Sky is coordinating nationally, Oil Change is asking you to trace the hands of your child or children onto a letter to send to your members of Congress. If you don’t have a child, trace your own hand, and then forward this on to any parents you know!
By sending your elected officials these tracings along with the demand that they stop taking oil money and support the 1Sky coalition’s solutions to the climate crisis, we hope leaders will make the connection between our children’s future and the actions they must support for them.
1. Download the action page and print 3 copies (for your two Senators and one Representative)
2. Find the names of your members of Congress, and how much oil money they take.
3. Trace your or your child’s hands onto letters for your two Senators and one Representative, sign and print your name and address, and then send them to us at:
Oil Change International, 2228 12th Place NW, Washington DC 20009
Let’s demand strong action for the sake of our children and all children!
