In the midst of all of the news that has come out of Washington D.C. this
month, you may have missed out on this story,
John: ⤵️

The largest U.S. banks — including Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo, Citigroup,
Bank of America, and Morgan Stanley — withdrew from the Net-Zero Banking
Alliance, a global initiative to align banking and financial practices
with the Paris Climate Agreement — the same agreement that Donald Trump
just withdrew the U.S. from.
By evading their responsibility, these banks are doubling down on
financing fossil fuels and abandoning their commitments toward building a
sustainable future.
Here's the truth,
John. These banks have been among
the biggest backers of oil, gas, and coal projects globally. While the
world continues to face record-breaking temperatures and climate
disasters, these banks are pouring billions into the very same industries
fueling the climate crisis.
Their actions represent an existential threat to our planet. It’s about
putting profit over people and short-term greed over long-term survival.
But this doesn't have to be our future. We can pressure these banks to
divest from their fossil fuel backers and support efforts to create a
renewable, sustainable economy.

invest in our future.

This is our moment to go further, to demand a financial system that works
in the interest of the people and the planet — not against it.
When we push back, we win. Activists have already successfully pressured
banks to limit coal financing, reject Arctic drilling projects, and scale
back funding for destructive pipelines.
[ [link removed] ]The climate crisis isn't waiting,
John. And neither are we. Can
you take a moment to tell the big banks: stop funding the climate crisis
and start investing in real solutions.

Thank you for taking action.
