ICYMI: Brazil just auctioned off parts of the Amazon to fossil fuel companies — despite warnings from climate scientists and powerful protests from activists and Indigenous groups.1
This opens the door for Big Oil to drill in some of the most biodiverse and climate-critical places on Earth. It will impact the lives and livelihoods of Indigenous Peoples while releasing billions of barrels’ worth of climate-heating emissions.2
But here’s the truth: None of this happens without money.
JPMorgan Chase is one of the top funders of fossil fuel exploration in the Amazon.3 Their funding enables the oil companies pushing these destructive projects forward.
The Amazon is vital to life on Earth. It stabilizes our climate, protects priceless biodiversity, and sustains thousands of Indigenous communities. But if Big Oil gets its way, all of that could be sacrificed for short-term corporate profit.
JPMorgan Chase claims to care about Indigenous rights and biodiversity. But they’re financing the exact fossil fuel projects that are destroying both. It’s greenwashing, and we can’t let this stand.4
350.org supporters like you have acted to stop fossil fuel projects before. And today, we need you to raise your voice again. Together, we can turn up the pressure on the banks funding this crisis and stand up for our climate and communities.
Add your name NOW to tell JPMorgan Chase: Stop financing fossil fuel projects in the Amazon!
