What you can do right now
Your voice carries more weight when it comes from the people a policy affects.
The Senate is considering a bill to require oil companies to properly seal abandoned offshore wells. This bill protects our ocean water from pollution and helps keep our communities safe. Oil wells that are not properly plugged can leak harmful chemicals into the environment. When we show up together, our community becomes more connected, more resilient, and more powerful.
