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 — but we need your help.
To make our movement’s demands heard loud and clear, we need as many people as possible to sign our petition.
These banks have a choice: they can either keep funding climate-wrecking companies and their operations, or they can fund the just transition required for the world to get off of fossil fuels.
Right now, these banks think they can make easy money by funding fossil fuel extraction.
They think they can get away with destroying ecosystems, communities, and our planet.
But we’ll prove them wrong. By raising our voices together, we’ll turn up the heat on Wall Street money managers and demand an end to fossil fuel financing.
In solidarity,
