MISSY SIMS: The TikTok star suing Big Oil

Missy Sims (TikToker, Republican, lawyer taking down Fossil Fuel companies) could be described as the modern-day Erin Brockovich. Late last year she filed a world-first lawsuit on behalf of Puerto Rican municipalities against Exxon, Chevron and Shell. Claiming the atmosphere-destroying emissions they produced were directly responsible for the deaths and horrific damage caused by Hurricane Maria in 2017. And - wait for it - she’s doing it via the laws she uses to take down mobsters.I started reading about the case, then about Missy, with her 2.2 million TikTok followers and her belief that God steers her vigilante work, and I had to know more. I also wanted to get her inside take on whether this wild approach to the climate emergency might just work.SHOW NOTESHere's the Shell TINA document Missy referencesYou can follow Missy on TikTok hereIf you need to know a bit more about me… head to my "about" pageFor more such conversations subscribe to my Substack newsletter, it’s where I interact the most!Get your copy of my book, This One Wild and Precious LifeLet’s connect on Instagram Hosted on Acast.
