Support AB-1243 to Hold Polluters Accountable

Subject: Support AB-1243 to hold polluters accountable and fund climate resilience in California

My name is [Full Name], and I am writing to express my strong support for AB-1243, the Polluters Pay Climate Superfund Act of 2025. This bill is a crucial step in holding fossil fuel companies accountable for their significant contributions to climate change, ensuring they pay their fair share for the damage caused by greenhouse gas emissions. AB-1243 establishes the Polluters Pay Climate Superfund Program, which is essential to alleviate the financial burden on California taxpayers. By requiring fossil fuel companies responsible for over 1 billion metric tons of emissions to pay a cost recovery demand, the bill ensures that those who have contributed most to climate change are held financially accountable. This is not just fair; it is necessary for the urgent action required to address the climate crisis. Moreover, the bill's commitment to directing at least 40% of the funds collected towards projects benefiting disadvantaged communities is a significant step towards environmental justice. These communities are often the most affected by climate change, and this provision ensures they receive the support they need. I urge you to support AB-1243 and help secure a sustainable and resilient future for California. This bill is a vital measure to protect our environment and communities from the ongoing threats of climate change. Thank you for considering my perspective. Sincerely,
