I’ll have a fuller report up soon, but I figured I’d at least dump a few photos here to get the ball rolling.

People were handing these out…they easily fooled us for real money at first glance! It’s intended as a “refund” to American taxpayers for the billions in subsidies that fossil fuel companies get from us each year. When we’re paying $4 at the pump and they’re raking in record profits, it kind of chafes, yeah?
