I am on the water in New York bearing witness to a tanker carrying Russian oil. We have a clear message: OIL FUELS WAR.<\/span><\/p>\n

Oil fuels war. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Across the world, people like you and I have been shocked and saddened by the incredible violence inflicted on the Ukrainian people by Vladimir Putin\u2019s oil-funded regime. This is truly atrocious, truly heartbreaking. As the violence unfolds, our movement is unified in saying no more \u2014 no more war, no more bloodshed, no more blank checks written to dictators and militaries to fund their war machines. As long as we continue to pour petrodollars into the pockets of evil men, we will not see an end to their violence.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why Greenpeace USA activists and I are on the water in New York City bearing witness to a tanker carrying Russian oil. It\u2019s arriving just before the end of the 45 day grace period set by President Biden. We have a clear message \u2014 oil fuels war, and we are done with both. We\u2019re sending a message to Russia, to the oil companies making obscene profits off conflicts, and directly to President Biden that NOW is the time to move past fossil fuels.<\/p>\n
