Sign the petition: Tell Enterprise to stop funding climate change denial

Tell Enterprise: Live up to your values of sustainability and cut all ties to ALEC, the extreme right-wing lobbying group that denies climate change and blocks climate action.

Dear MoveOn member,

I'm Emily Southard of ClimateTruth.org, and I started a petition to Pamela Nicholson, President and CEO or Enterprise, which says:

Live up to your values of sustainability by immediately cutting all ties with ALEC, the extreme right-wing lobbying group that denies climate change and blocks climate action.

Enterprise, the largest car rental company in the world, was recently revealed by the Center for Media and Democracy and The Guardian to be a dues-paying member of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC).1

ALEC helps right-wing lawmakers fulfill corporate wishlists on a variety of topics that undermine American health and safety—including spreading climate change denial and blocking climate solutions. Enterprise makes "green" commitments to plant trees and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in public, but funds ALEC in private.2 Enterprise must cut ties with ALEC immediately.

Click here to add your name to this petition, and then pass it along to your friends.

Thanks!

—Emily Southard
