John,
The Swiss National Bank is pumping over $9 BILLION into greedy corporations destroying the planet with fracking - recklessly drilling into rock deep beneath the earth’s surface to suck out oil and gas.
These investments aren’t just dirty – they’re deadly. Fracking by fossil fuel giants like ExxonMobil poisons water supplies with cancer-causing chemicals, destroys Indigenous lands, and forces communities to inhale fracking’s toxic fumes.
But we have a people-powered plan to cut the cash flow to these climate vandals! Switzerland’s national bank is, by definition, majority-owned by the Swiss public. If we can show clearly that the public wants the fracking to stop, elected officials will feel the pressure to get the bank to drop its dirty investments!
With all of us chipping in, we can work fast to poll Swiss residents and plaster the results all over the media so that the SNB’s Chairman has nowhere to hide. Chip in to turn up the heat on the Swiss National Bank!

Fracking has triggered uncontrollable earthquakes, destroying the foundations of *entire cities*. And despite continuous warnings, cancer-causing chemicals used in fracking have been allowed to seep into and contaminate water supplies – multiple times.
It is so dangerous that countries including Germany, France, and Spain have flat-out banned the practice. AND the majority of states in Switzerland have called for moratoriums on fracking!
The vast majority of the companies the Swiss National Bank invests in even have ludicrous plans to expand their operations, even as the International Energy Agency explicitly warns that no new oil and gas exploitation can happen if we’re to limit global warming to 1.5C. They’re pushing us all to the brink of irreversible climate catastrophe.
According to the SNB’s own policy, it won’t make investments in activities that “grossly violate widely accepted social values.” It’s up to us to hold them to it! If we can commission a poll and plaster the results all over the media, we can show that fracking DOES grossly violate Swiss social values and force them to change. Chip in today to remind the SNB’s Chairman that it can no longer justify deadly investments in fracking!

The finance sector is purposefully opaque so that banks can get away with sneakily investing in climate vandals like ExxonMobil and Chevron. But our friends at Klima Alliance have blown the SNB’s cover with a new report exposing its ties to deadly fracking and we’re not letting it off the hook.
John, we have a chance to save our planet from irreversible destruction and secure a safe future for generations to come. But we have to act NOW to show big banks and polluting corporations that their climate-wrecking schemes will face disruption at every turn.
We’ve JUST presented 60,000 Ekō voices to the SNB and we’re not stopping there!, Now is the time to demand bold action and show that we’ll do whatever it takes to make our voices heard. Thousands of us stopped Barclays from funding fracking in the UK, and we can do it again. Chip in to be part of the movement to stop destructive fracking!
