No API Conference in Chicago
The Hyatt Regency McCormick Place in Chicago is hosting a conference of the notorious American Petroleum Institute (API) taking place from November 13-17, 2023.
API is a lobbying organization that plays a crucial role in maintaining profits for and preventing the regulation of oil companies most culpable for the global climate crisis including BP, Shell, and Exxon Mobil.
This summer all Chicagoans experienced gray summer days choking on wildfire smoke and many of our neighbors faced devastating flooding damage caused by increasingly extreme weather patterns. The time is now to demand climate justice for Chicago and all frontline communities already facing the most dire impacts of climate change.
If we don’t stop them, the API and its 600 fossil fuel companies will continue dumping millions into stopping the transition to a clean energy future while working to win new drilling and pipeline projects that could lock in catastrophic warming for generations.
From dirty industry and diesel trucks to the toxic BP refinery just outside Chicago, everyday Chicagoans, especially Black and brown Environmental Justice communities, are feeling the brunt of API’s work to block a clean energy transition that would benefit us all. If API continues their business as usual we will all have more summers of extreme heat, wildfire smoke, and flooding to endure.
Tell Hyatt to stop the API Conference!
