In an open letter (pdf), a coalition of 145 environmental groups and social justice activists has called on Democratic Party presidential nominee and former Vice President Joe Biden to ban fossil fuel representatives, lobbyists, or executives from advisory positions on his campaign team—and, should he be elected President in November, from his cabinet and administration.
A 501(c)4 non-profit organization, the Oil Change coalition says that it is “dedicated to supporting real climate leadership, exposing the true costs of fossil fuels, and building a just, equitable, and renewable energy future in the United States.”
