The NAACP’s mission is to uphold and defend civil and human rights. Accordingly, we are duty-bound to confront corporations wielding power to manipulate systems and oppress communities to the detriment of the sustainability of the environment and the wellbeing of all life on earth. Even as we work with partners to advance sustainable and just policies and practices, we are compelled to expose the ways that the fossil fuel industry invests millions of dollars in undermining our civil rights agenda. They manipulate academia, politics, media, and our economy. We must break the tethers of puppetry that suppress democracy and hold sway over these key systems.
