We're only a few weeks into the year and we've already secured a major win for the climate movement and the Amazon!
BlackRock – the world's largest investor in fossil fuels and a major financier of Amazon destruction – publicly committed to "fundamentally reshape finance to deal with climate change." NBD.
Just two years ago, people told us that building this movement would be too difficult and that the finance world would never change. Following our Complicity in Destruction II report, we accompanied indigenous leaders to meet face-to-face with BlackRock's CEO and helped organize repeated protests at BlackRock offices worldwide. Our tenacity got results.
We have been able to apply more pressure than ever before because our movement continues to grow. It's built upon a foundation of monthly supporters who allow us to develop and implement long-term strategies. Will you make that commitment, too?
BlackRock is the first major asset manager to lay out policy priorities that address climate change, but with your support it will not be the last. This is just the first step in the industry-wide shift that we need to protect our future. Will you help us maintain the pressure through a monthly donation today?
For the Amazon, our climate, and future generations,
Leila Salazar-López
Executive Director
