In state after state, we’re keeping these groups and their corporate backers—from ExxonMobil to the Koch brothers—from functionally buying legislation, by coordinating actions like having UCS supporters contact over 200 state legislators who are members of ALEC just hours before they attended ALEC’s summer meeting and delivering more than 130,000 letters to one of ALEC’s corporate sponsors, Royal Dutch Shell. Our advocacy efforts were so effective that we convinced major financial backers of ALEC like Shell and BP (British Petroleum) to withdraw their funding.

Congress and state legislatures are back in session, and we need at least 1,500 people to donate to fight misinformation and protect the pollution limits wherever challenges crop up.

   Stand up for all the progress we’ve made on power plant pollution—chip in with a gift by September 30 >>

We solicit no funds from corporations or the government. We are built by and rely on supporters like you.

Thank you for standing on the side of science, again and again and again.

Sincerely, Ken Kimmell President Union of Concerned Scientists
