Hi John, I wanted to make sure you saw this —
We can still stop fossil fuel companies from drilling in the Amazon rainforest.
Yes, the Brazilian government just auctioned off parts of the Amazon to fossil fuel companies in June1, but here’s the catch: Those fossil fuel companies can’t afford to start drilling without money from big U.S. banks — like Citibank.
That’s why we’re raising the voice of every single person who cares about our planet to demand that Citibank stop bankrolling fossil fuel destruction in the Amazon. Make your voice heard today.
Citibank is based here in the U.S., but it’s one of the top funders of oil and gas projects in the Amazon.2 We can’t let that stand. As climate activists, we need to stand in solidarity with Indigenous Peoples and traditional communities who are fighting back against the destruction of their land.
Let's make sure Citibank hears our demands loud and clear: Stop destroying the Amazon!
In solidarity,
Katrina for 350.org

Citibank is bankrolling Amazon rainforest destruction
To: John [[email protected]]
John -
Last month, the Brazilian government sold off parts of the Amazon rainforest to fossil fuel companies for drilling.1
But we can still stop this. Without money from big U.S. banks like Citibank, these destructive projects can’t go ahead.
That’s why we’re calling on Citibank, one of the top financiers of fossil fuel destruction in the Amazon2, to stop funding oil and gas expansion in this vital rainforest. Will you add your name to our demands now?
Despite their claims of fighting biodiversity loss and exploitation of Indigenous Peoples, Citibank continues to fund fossil fuel projects in the Amazon region that further destroy our climate and displace Indigenous Peoples and local communities.3
People all over the world are suffering the impacts of the climate crisis — from entire islands in the Pacific threatened by rising sea levels, to countries across the Northern Hemisphere experiencing life-threatening heat waves, to communities in Central Texas that were just devastated by the recent floods.
We need to stand in solidarity with Indigenous Peoples and Traditional communities, who are coming together to fight back against the destruction of their home and instead are fighting for a just, community-led renewable energy transition. Join us in sending a strong message to Citibank now to make sure they stop funding this destruction.
Sign the petition now and tell Citibank: Stop destroying the Amazon!
In solidarity,
Katrina for 350.org
