The deal could sacrifice lives and the health of communities, silence voices by gutting environmental reviews and public comment, and sabotage the chance for a livable future.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This week three Congressional committees held hearings investigating Big Oil\u2019s shady tactics to delay climate action, silence those who protect their communities, and sacrifice lives to grow their profits.

Meanwhile, Manchin and Schumer are trying to push through a Dirty Deal that benefits the same industry. The provisions in the Dirty Deal \u2014 gutting environmental reviews and public comments, fast tracking pollution-heavy oil, gas, and coal projects, and locking communities into decades of health risks \u2014 are unpopular. <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalresources.house.gov\/media\/press-releases\/chair-grijalva-71-other-members-to-house-leadership-keep-permitting-reform-out-of-a-continuing-resolution\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Over 70 members of Congress have already come out in opposition of the deal<\/a>. And yet two Senators are attempting to aggressively force the deal into the Continuing Resolution. This tactic is an undemocratic attempt to circumvent voters and hold hostage any elected official who is concerned with the impacts it would have on people and the planet. These backroom, insider deals are how Big Oil plans to keep its power in the face of overwhelming support for climate action. Senators Manchin and Schumer must end their attempts to push through a compromised Continuing Resolution and pass one that is free of handouts to the oil and gas industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">###<\/p>\n<p><b>Photos:<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b>Stop the Dirty Deal truck in DC: <a href=\"https:\/\/media.greenpeace.org\/shoot\/27MDHUF3EA0Z\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/media.greenpeace.org\/shoot\/27MDHUF3EA0Z<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Activists send a message to Congress to Stop The Dirty Deal: <a href=\"https:\/\/media.greenpeace.org\/shoot\/27MDHUF33KKJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/media.greenpeace.org\/shoot\/27MDHUF33KKJ<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Greenpeace USA <\/b>is part of a global network of independent campaigning organizations that use peaceful protest and creative communication to expose global environmental problems and promote solutions that are essential to a green and peaceful future.
