Friend,

FIRST, at her confirmation hearing, Janet Yellen called climate change "an existential threat."

THEN, she was confirmed to lead the Treasury—an executive department with the authority to take action against "emerging threats to the stability of the U.S. financial system."

NOW, Secretary Yellen is finalizing her historic report about "climate-related financial risk"—and we're mobilizing a massive petition campaign demanding she meet the urgency of this moment with bold climate action.

Evergreen is partnering with our friends across the climate movement to gather as many signatures as possible. Then, we're going to hand-deliver our petition to the Treasury Department. Will you join us and sign your name today to tell Secretary Yellen to make good on her promises to tackle the climate crisis?

The climate crisis is the mother of all "emerging threats." If Sec. Yellen fails to take decisive action, our financial system will suffer—and a climate-fueled crash only becomes more likely by the day. That means our pensions, small business loans, retirement funds, and college savings accounts are at risk—but it's not too late.

Secretary Yellen has the power to make financial institutions disclose and mitigate the climate impact of their investments. She could go further and even discourage Wall Street banks from lending money to Big Polluters.

Yet, the Washington Post just reported Sec. Yellen is "poised to resist" calls for strong climate action. That's why it's so urgent that you sign on today—with power in numbers, we can show her that inaction is not an option.

Sign our petition and join advocates from across the climate movement in demanding strong climate action from the Treasury. It's now or never.

Let's do this,

Lena Moffitt
