John -

Hundreds of the world's wealthiest shareholders are arriving in Europe to make critical decisions on where and how the largest and most powerful banks should invest their money.

And right now, 350.org climate activists from Argentina and the Mapuche indigenous communities are arriving in Europe too.

These activists have seen first-hand the destruction the fossil fuel industry has brought to communities in Latin America, and are setting out to call on banks to stop investing in climate-wrecking projects worldwide.

But unlike the wealthy shareholders attending the meetings, the climate activists do not have endless resources to cover their accommodation. Which brings me to why I'm writing to you today:

The climate activists from Argentina are aiming to attend EVERY meeting that they can while they are in Europe. But accommodation, food, transportation, and an internet connection are all expensive.

Which is why I am asking if you can make a $3.50 donation today so that we can support these climate activists in attending all of the banks' meetings happening across Europe during May?

Banks' shareholder meetings occur shortly after fossil fuel companies publish their annual financial results, and this year, fossil fuel companies like Shell and BP recorded record-breaking profits¹ — profits that were only possible because banks continue to invest in fossil fuel projects that wreck our climate and our futures. We can't let these banks keep financing climate destruction.

The very first meeting was yesterday, but with your help, we'll be able to send these activists to ALL of the meetings to tell the real story about the impacts of their continued investments in fossil fuel projects, and to strengthen and build partnerships with climate organizations across Europe. Here are just a few of the meetings and plans the activists are participating in:

• May 16: BNP Paribas shareholder meeting in Paris, France. Our delegation will attend the event and participate in actions alongside the BNP Case Coalition, Reclaim Finance, Banktrack and Friends of the Earth.
• May 17: Deutsche Bank shareholder meeting in Frankfurt, Germany. This meeting will be online. Our delegation will participate in it and then attend activities in Frankfurt. Among them is a joint action with Fridays For Future targeting companies that frack gas from Latin America.²

As of now, we are still falling short on our target to send climate activists across Europe to attend those meetings. That's why we need your help.

If every person reading this email chipped in today, we could send climate activists to every one of these bank shareholder meetings happening around Europe to represent and tell the real story about the impact they're having on people and our planet.

If you can, please consider making a contribution today so we can push companies to take the climate action our planet desperately needs.

I'll keep you posted in the coming days on our progress. More soon.

In solidarity,

May Boeve
