Most firms that have caved to the president’s threats have abysmal track records on climate, according to new data from Law Students for Climate Accountability.
Never ask me to support a candidate who has taken big money from the oil and gas industry. These law firms have enabled the fossil fuel industry by making it legally acceptable to represent clients despite clear conflicts of interest. Time and again, I've witnessed fossil fuel law firms representing government entities—city and county—while they push for deregulation on critical issues like water, air, land, and even toxic waste. This isn't just legal representation; it's corruption and collusion at its worst. The consequences of this industry influence are now on full display. How can we trust institutions that profit from destroying our planet and undermining our democracy? The legal profession’s ties to Big Oil are not just an ethical concern—they're a direct threat to our future. #ExxonKnew #FossilFuelCorruption #ClimateJustice
