Some of our major banks are lending and investing billions of dollars of our savings to fund the climate crisis.
In 2023, big U.S. banks — like JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America — were the world’s largest financiers of coal, oil, and gas projects and increased their investments in fossil fuel companies that want to expand their production of dirty LNG.1
Fossil fuel companies are burning down our planet and destroying communities. The best way to stop them from continuing to cause climate chaos is to go after the financial institutions funding them.
That’s why our climate movement is rising up to confront the big banks on Wall Street at Summer of Heat, a summer-long wave of nonviolent direct actions in New York City.
And 350 will be on the ground taking part in Summer of Heat’s Fossil Fuel Fighters Week from July 22-27, calling for an end to fossil fuel financing.
We need to make our demands heard loud and clear, so we need as many climate activists as possible to join us in person. Can you come join us on July 22-27?
Right now, these banks think they can make easy money by funding fossil fuel extraction.
They think that people won't notice or won't care. They think they can get away with destroying ecosystems, communities, and our planet.
But we’ll prove them wrong. By taking direct action at their headquarters, we’ll uplift the demands of activists fighting fossil fuel expansion, turn up the heat on Wall Street money managers, and demand an end to fossil fuel financing.
Join us and be part of the movement that will shape a sustainable and just future for all.
In solidarity,
- Team 350
