In two weeks, 63 central banks from around the world will meet and vote on
new rules that could end investments in fossil fuel projects.

They'll only do it if there's unprecedented pressure.

Add your name to demand an end to fossil fuel investments, and Ekō will
deliver our names at the meeting:

John,

From devastating wildfires in North America to tropical temperatures in
Siberia, we are facing the direct consequences of the reckless
exploitation of fossil fuels.

But right now we have a key opportunity to help stop runaway climate
change and protect our precious planet.

In two weeks, 63 central banks from across the world will meet to vote on
new rules for ALL the banks of the world -- including their funding of
fossil fuel projects. This is our chance to change the rules of the game,
right at the top. 

Let's pile on now to demand banks stop funding these dirty projects. The
Ekō team and several frontline communities and activists from all over the
world will be there to deliver our call -- let's make this huge:

[ [link removed] ]John, call on the central banks governors now to stop
funding fossil fuels and save our future.

Banks are one of the key enablers for fossil fuels projects. No money = no
coal mines in Europe, no crude oil pipeline in Africa, no mega-gas
projects in the Arctic.

Entire livelihoods and ecosystems are being ripped out in the name of
immediate profit -- violating frontline communities’ most basic human
rights and threatening our chance of a liveable future on our shared home,
Earth.

Banks seem like untouchable giants, but they abide by rules too and by
changing the rules at the top, we can cut off the roots of the problem.

We can’t afford to keep extracting and burning fossil fuels, banks need to
invest in sustainable energies and renewable energy projects. This meeting
is a unique chance to get all regulators’ attention and influence the
decisions. Let’s show them that thousands of people from across the globe
are paying close attention to their votes and calling for a fair and just
financial system.

[ [link removed] ]Call on central bankers to stop bankrolling our destruction and adopt
new financial rules that put people and planet over fossil profits.

The mobilisation against financial actors is growing -- from Uganda,
Argentina, Australia, Korea, the USA, Switzerland, the Arctic, France, the
UK… Frontlines communities, Indigenous groups, activists, NGOs, experts
and YOU John are facing insurers and banks to hold them
accountable for their destruction.

We’re making them back off from entire fossil projects and adopt new
fossil fuel exclusion policies. People power works!

Today, we can change the top rules guiding their investments. But we can’t
do it alone:

[ [link removed] ]Are you with us John?
