350.org Responds to Exxon Subpoena: "Exxon is Trying to Distract the Public by Directly Attacking Us"

New York, N.Y.

350.org objected to all grounds of a subpoena received directly from ExxonMobil. In response, Jamie Henn, 350.org Communications Director issued the following statement:

"We must be doing something right to get subpoenaed by the world's largest oil company. Clearly the revelations about Exxon's climate cover up have hit a nerve. Rather than admitting the truth, Exxon is trying to distract the public by directly attacking us. Instead they're just proving our point: when faced with an opportunity to come clean, Exxon is falling back on its long history of deceit, denial and delay. We of course will continue to shine a spotlight on Exxon's climate crimes."

350 is building a future that's just, prosperous, equitable and safe from the effects of the climate crisis. We're an international movement of ordinary people working to end the age of fossil fuels and build a world of community-led renewable energy for all.
