Tell Citi: Don't Invest in Environmental Racism

Dear John,

Did you know Citi is the world's second largest funder of fossil fuel projects? 

Fossil fuels (coal, oil, and gas) lie at the heart of racial injustice in the United States. These facilities—which are located in Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities—release toxic air and water pollution that causes a range of health problems including respiratory illness, low birth weights, and cancer.

Add your name to demand Citi stop investing in environmental racism!

In past years, Citi has also been one of the largest U.S. financiers of Formosa Plastics Corporation and its subsidiary companies. 

Right now, Formosa Plastics is trying to build the “Sunshine Project” in St. James Parish, Louisiana that would increase local pollution and destroy the burial grounds of enslaved ancestors. The $12 billion facility would manufacture the building blocks of single-use plastics, made from fossil fuel-based chemicals (called “petrochemicals”). 

Formosa Plastics has a track record of legal violations, from poisoning fisheries in Vietnam, to releasing plastic pellets into the Texas Gulf, to causing deadly explosions near neighborhoods and schools. We are demanding that Citi walk their own talk by immediately stopping doing business with Formosa Plastics.

Take action now and make your voice heard by adding your name to the petition.

Thank you for taking action!

In solidarity,
