The report concludes “As the climate crisis worsens, activists are increasingly pressuring ad agencies, PR firms, universities, and other recipients of fossil fuel monies to cut ties with fossil fuel companies.” Double agents no more.
The Red Cross provides relief aid for #climate disaster survivors. Yet @RedCrossCasc employs a lobbying firm who lobbies for the oldest oil lobbying group in the US: @WSPAofficial, whose #carbon pollution & #Oregon advocacy has led society to a #climateemergency to begin with
Looking at Oregon’s northern neighbor, in #Washington, 10 public school districts in the state share a lobbying firm with NW Natural too. And who does #climatechange impact the most? Those who will have to live with it for the next century: our youth in K-12 schools.
Rising seas and spiking temperatures threaten #Oregon’s wild salmon habitats, too, yet the @wildsalmoncntr shares a lobbying firm with NW Natural as well.
.@UnitedWay of Columbia-Willamette provides relief to #climatecrisis disaster victims, backing policy to help EJ communities transition to climate-aligned #energy sources like #heatpumps & #electrification. Yet it shares a #lobbying firm w/ NW Natural, which fights both.
Lobbyists for @NWNatural also go to bat for #healthcare clients despite selling a health-harming product to customers. The lobbying firm Eames, further, represents the utility while also backing @OregonPCA & @HealthShareOR. Double agents, yet again. There's more.
What does the report actually find? Let’s start w/ #gas stoves, whose emissions create health risks comparablesecondhand smoke. NW Public Affairs lobbies for both @NWNatural & @OHSUNews. Yes, wait for it: home to @OHSUKnight. Wild. But it gets weirder.
