Dear Green American, Earlier this year, thousands of Green Americans told Costco to drop its credit card partnership with Citibank – the world's largest funder of new oil, gas, and coal projects since 2015. Unfortunately, Citi has not responded – despite daily protests throughout the summer at its headquarters in New York City. Now we are expanding our ask. Besides Costco, LL Bean, Macy’s, Home Depot, Best Buy, Sears, and AT&T all have co-branded credit cards with Citi. If we put pressure on these companies to pressure Citi on its fossil fuel financing, we can make a difference. Take action with us today: Tell the companies doing business with Citi their reputation is on the line for enabling fossil fuel-driven climate destruction. Around the world, people are feeling the effects of fossil fuel and human-driven climate change: extreme weather like deadly heat waves, worsening fires, droughts, floods, and hurricanes. It’s time for Citi to listen to the science: Citi must stop financing fossil fuel expansion. In order to get Citi to do this, we are working with dozens of allied organizations to put pressure on these major companies that do business with Citibank. Send a message to the executives at Costco, LL Bean, Macy’s, Home Depot, Best Buy, Sears, and AT&T today. Every voice matters. Let’s make sure the message is clear: If these companies continue to do business with Citibank, they are just as complicit in the climate crisis as Citi is. If these companies care about climate change and take sustainability seriously, they will join with us to pressure Citi to end its fossil fuel financing immediately. Tell these major companies: Your company has a Citibank problem. As a customer, I’m urging you to do something about it. |
