Pushing Automakers to Drop the Lawsuit

TheAlliance of Automobile Manufacturers (AAM), which represents General Motors, Ford, DaimlerChrysler, Toyota and others are blocking legislation in California and eleven other states that would reduce global warming emissions from tailpipes. Although the automakers have spent billions of advertising dollars convincing the public they are committed to producing clean vehicles, they are suing California and eleven other states that are trying to implement part of the solution.

Rallying Against Automakers

In Sacramento, CA, several of California’s leading scientists, health and environmental advocates rallied outside the Sacramento offices of the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers (AAM), blasting the auto industry lobbying group for standing in the way of the state’s efforts to pass more stringent greenhouse gas regulations. Advocates for increased vehicle fuel efficiency and improved air quality stood under a giant balloon banner reading, “Auto Alliance: Driving Global Warming One Lawsuit At A Time.”

After the rally, several activists came together and walked into the lobbying the offices of the AAM with a global warming gift basket.
