Braddock, PA — Lt. Governor John Fetterman on Tuesday announced that he had signed the No Fossil Fuel Money Pledge. The pledge, which is endorsed by the Sunrise Movement, 350 Action, Greenpeace, Public Citizen, and several other climate organizations, bars a candidate from taking any contributions over $200 from oil, gas, and coal industry executives, lobbyists, and PACs.

“I never have and never will take a dime from the fossil fuel industry,” said John Fetterman. “Climate change is an existential threat, and we need to transition to clean energy as quickly as possible. And as we do this, we must ensure that we have a just transition that honors and upholds the union way of life for workers across Pennsylvania and creates thousands of good-paying union jobs in the process.

Fetterman also signed the No Fossil Fuel Money Pledge during his successful run for Pennsylvania Lt. Governor in 2018. Fetterman believes that climate change is a real, urgent, and existential threat that requires immediate and bold action.

Since announcing his campaign for the U.S. Senate last week, Fetterman has already received the endorsement of the United Steelworkers District 10, the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 1776, and NORML PAC.
