Take Action
B.C. needs effective climate leadership.

Tell Citi: Put Gulf South People Over Toxic Profits
Citi has fueled environmental racism in the U.S. Gulf South for far too long. Stand in solidarity by pushing Citi to end its financing and instead begin to invest in just, sustainable, community-led solutions to the harms it has caused frontline communities.
Join our movement and demand Citi stop perpetrating environmental racism.
This election, ask your candidate where they stand on B.C.’s biggest climate problem – fracking and LNG.
B.C. residents want clear, effective and accountable plans for protecting our climate. But plans to expand fracking and LNG exports threaten to exacerbate unnatural climate disasters like extreme wildfires and drought. This adds up to the same thing as climate denial.
That’s why this election every candidate seeking office must answer the fracking question — Will you protect our climate and B.C. communities, and set a date to phase out fracked gas? Or, will you obey corporate lobbyists and continue expanding pipelines and LNG?

Tell Citi: Don’t Invest in Environmental Racism
Citi could be asked to finance the ‘Sunshine Project’, a $12 billion petrochemical plant in St. James Parish, Louisiana. The 2400-acre complex would increase local pollution by 800 tons annually and greenhouse gas emissions by 13.6 million tons annually.
Demand Citi denounce, divest, and defund Formosa Plastics’ toxic and racist ‘Sunshine Project’.
Join me in taking action to protect freshwater in B.C.
Stand.earth has been tracking water use in B.C.’s oil and gas sector, and learned that oil and gas companies have taken a record 6 billion litres of freshwater from lakes and rivers for fracking last year – an increase of 16% since 2022 ‼️
This happened just as drought impacts in northeastern B.C. were intensifying.
???? If you include all other sources of water (deep wells and privately owned man-made runoff ponds) the latest estimate by @davidsuzukifdn increases to 9.7 billion litres of water.
That’s more than enough to fill every public swimming pool in Canada. ????
Companies pay $2.25 per million litres of water, meaning that B.C.’s entire oil and gas sector paid somewhere around $13,500 to access fresh water just last year alone.
????️ Even during periods of drought, the B.C. government still allows the fracking industry to use and pollute billions of litres of freshwater. There’s no way to frack without poisoning huge amounts of water, and there is no way to clean up or dispose of the wastewater without putting communities and the environment at risk.
Add your voice to tell the B.C. government to protect clean water sources from toxic fracking chemicals.
