   IT'S TIME !
MUSEUMS MUST CUT THEIR TIES WITH THE 
FOSSIL FUEL INDUSTRY & FUNDERS OF CLIMATE DENIAL !

Oil mogul David Koch sits on the 
Board of the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, while he bankrolls groups that deny climate science.

WHAT:

Join us for a lunchtime demonstration, press conference, and rally outside of the Smithsonian's Board meeting Monday, June 15th when we'll: 

• Call on the Smithsonian to cut its ties with the Fossil Fuel Industry and Funders of Climate Denial

• Deliver a Petition with more than 300,000 signatures calling on the Smithsonian to KICK KOCH OFF THE BOARD!  (Sign- here!)

• Call on the Smithsonian to "FIX IT OR TAKE IT DOWN!"       The climate theme of the Koch-funded Hall of Human Origins exhibit must be corrected so that it tells the truth about the role fossil fuels play in the climate crisis.
