SEPARATE OIL & STATE
notes: label: Description (Brief)
content: Founded in 2005, Oil Change International is a Washington, D.C.-based research, communications, and advocacy organization focused on facilitating society’s ongoing transition to clean energy sources. Oil Change produced this “separate oil and state” poster for the People’s Climate March, held in Washington, D.C., on 29 April 2017. The poster’s slogan—which was a play on the American tradition of separation of church and state—sought to draw attention to the undue political influence of the oil industry.
