Faith.Anti.Immunity

A collective statement from individuals across various faith traditions calling on the U.S. Congress to reject a proposed 'fossil fuel immunity bill'. The authors argue that such legislation would shield corporations from legal accountability for climate damages, violating the moral principle that those who cause harm must be held responsible. They contend that the bill would block 'polluter pays' laws and shift the financial burden of climate disasters from the responsible corporations to taxpayers and affected families.

• The authors oppose proposed legislation in the U.S. Congress that would shield fossil fuel companies from legal accountability for damages caused by their products and activities.
• The document argues that the proposed bill is not intended to address energy policy, but is instead a mechanism for corporations to avoid legal consequences.
• The authors claim that the fossil fuel industry has actively worked to prevent public awareness of the consequences of its activities through the funding of delays, denials, and deceptions.
• If enacted, the legislation would stop climate accountability lawsuits and prevent the enforcement of 'polluter pays' laws.
• The statement asserts that the bill would shift the financial burden of climate-related harm from the corporations to the public and future generations.
• The authors ground their demand for corporate accountability in various religious and spiritual traditions, including the Qur’an, the Bhagavad Gita, Buddhist teachings, and the Bible.
