Launched! The campaign to get Exxon’s advertising dollars out of Nationals Park is officially underway. There was a healthy press turnout, with FOX News, WJLA and WAMU radio among those present to get the scoop on the campaign to Strike Exxon Out at Nationals Park.

A successful and well attended event with representatives from CCAN, Greenpeace, Hip Hop Caucus, Friends of the Earth and Oil Change International addressing Exxon’s attempt to piggyback on the Nationals’ LEED Silver Certified stadium to “green-wash” their brand. Not on our watch! Keep Nationals Park truly green!

Now we’ve got to keep the ball rolling. The first five volunteers to sign up to hand out literature at Nationals home games will get free tickets to the game. You read correctly, free tickets. To Nationals home games. For the rest of the season. If you want to help educate the public about Exxon’s long history of environmental destruction and funding of global warming denial groups AND get free tickets to a Nationals home game, this volunteer opportunity is for you. But you’ve got to act soon, spots are filling up. Here’s where you sign up.
