Hi there,

I believe that people who are concerned about the climate catastrophe, economic and racial justice and war and peace, are not a fringe minority, not even a silent majority, but the silenced majority—silenced by the corporate media. That's why we have to take the media back—especially now. But we can't do it without your support. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

SEC Ruling Deals Another Blow to ExxonMobil

HeadlineMar 25, 2016

This comes as Exxon was dealt another blow Tuesday by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which rejected Exxon’s attempts to block shareholders from demanding the oil giant disclose how its business would be impacted by the 2-degree target limit on global warming. Following the historic U.N. climate accord in December, in which 195 nations endorsed efforts to limit global warming to no more than a 2-degree Celsius rise above pre-industrial levels, a number of Exxon’s shareholders have advanced a proposal that would force the oil giant to tell investors how its profits will be impacted by the global target.
