New Report Shows Financial Links Between Fossil Fuel Companies and Police
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

A new investigation by the Public Accountability Initiative reveals
major polluters and financial institutions are also funding powerful
police groups across the U.S. The companies include Chevron, Shell and
Wells Fargo, which pour money into police foundations in cities
including Seattle, Chicago, Washington, New Orleans and Salt Lake City.
Carroll Muffett of the Center for International Environmental Law said,
"This report sheds a harsh light on the ways police violence and
systemic racism intersect with the climate crisis."
