Citibank is fueling destruction in the Amazon rainforest, John.
It’s one of the top five banks giving billions of dollars to fund fossil fuel projects in the critical rainforest.1
And now that the Brazilian government is fast-tracking fossil fuel projects in the Amazon2, that money could be put to even more destructive use.
Thousands of supporters like you have already taken action by signing onto our petition demanding Citibank stop destroying the Amazon. Can you help make the public outcry even bigger by liking or sharing our social media posts tagging Citibank?
The Amazon is critical for our future. It absorbs carbon from our atmosphere, supports rich biodiversity, and is home to many Indigenous Peoples and traditional communities.
But fossil fuel projects and other activities are displacing these communities and degrading the Amazon to the point that it could begin to emit more carbon than it absorbs.3
It’s time for Citibank to listen to climate activists and the Indigenous Peoples and traditional communities who are fighting back against the destruction of their home. Help us raise a call too loud for Citibank to ignore.
In solidarity,
Katrina for Team 350
