TD Bank is dumping billions into climate-wrecking fossil fuel companies.

But together we can hold TD to account and prevent the worst climate
catastrophe.

John,

California, Oregon and Washington are burning in an unprecedented fire
season, while Louisiana, Florida, Nova Scotia and Texas have been pummeled
by a historic hurricane season. The climate crisis is here.

And banks like TD are pushing us ever closer towards catastrophe by
financing fossil fuel projects like the tar sands, fracking and massively
destructive pipelines.

But we have a way to stop TD from dumping billions into climate destroying
companies.

In just three weeks, SumOfUs members will be filing a historic shareholder
proposal at TD, calling for the bank to make real change to pulling the
plug on Big Oil and stop funding the climate crisis. If we can file the
proposals with a massive petition, the company is sure to pay closer
attention.

Banks all over the world are starting to take action to reduce their
impact on the climate by defunding coal, creating greenhouse gas reduction
targets and committing to transitioning financing to greener, cleaner
options.

But TD, and the rest of the Canadian banks, are lagging embarrassingly
behind. Inside sources have told us that TD wants to make the change, but
there isn’t the incentive.

That’s where you come in -- with a massive petition that catches the
interest of the media we can ensure that top executives start taking real
action on our progressive shareholder proposal.

your friends and family?

SumOfUs has been pushing TD to step up on the climate for years. This year
we filed a shareholder proposal asking the company to stop financing
fossil fuel companies and it gained a historic 18% of the vote -- turning
the heads of the top executives at the company.

We know if we take action, we can win against TD. Just this summer, 24
hours after we launched our petition calling on TD to divest from
GeoGroup, the private prison corporation that is the architect for Trump’s
child separation policy at the Mexico/US border, we won. And if we take
action now, we can do it again.
