John -
The Amazon rainforest is at risk of destruction, and Citibank, JPMorgan Chase, and Bank of America are helping to fund it.1
These banks are still pouring money into fossil fuel exploration, despite claiming to fight biodiversity loss and exploitation of Indigenous people. That’s blatant greenwashing, plain and simple.2 It’s time for us to make them stop.
John, our fight here is more important than ever. As Donald Trump and his billionaire pals deny climate science and persecute climate scientists and anyone who dares to speak out, we need to come together to protect our planet.
While working people struggle to keep up with rising costs — rent, utilities, food, and more — these banks are using our money, OUR savings, to fund the destruction of the Amazon. They’re raking in the profits while our planet’s biodiversity suffers.
Last year, a report by COICA and Stand.earth exposed Citibank, JPMorgan Chase, and Bank by America as the top players fueling devastation of the Amazon.3 It’s despicable.
Despite their greenwashing, these banks have doubled down on funding the destruction of our planet. The Amazon is a biodiversity hotspot and crucial to our fight against the climate crisis. Yet, instead of protecting it, these banks are enabling its destruction for profit — while Indigenous and local communities bear the brunt of the impact.
We can’t stand idly by, and we can’t wait for someone else to save us. We must put pressure on these banks to stop investing in our destruction and start investing in a transition to renewable energy.
In solidarity,
