John, our pressure on financial regulators like Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is working. Take a look at this tweet:
If Secretary Yellen wants to discuss solving the crisis of climate change, we have some good news for her. She has the perfect opportunity to address climate right now.
Secretary Yellen is working on a report about how financial regulators should address climate risks. If she is serious about addressing the climate crisis, she must use this report to stop Wall Street from continuing its risky fossil fuel investments.
That’s why we're calling on the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen to use her power to step in and stop Wall Street from continuing their risky fossil fuel investments. Will you add your name to demand Secretary Yellen stop Wall Street from continuing its risky fossil fuel investments?
Secretary Yellen has shown leadership already by naming climate change as an “existential threat” to our financial system and economy.
But to keep President Biden’s promise of meeting our climate goals and protecting the economy, she and her fellow financial regulators must act to regulate Wall Street’s reckless investments in oil and gas.
Wall Street giants like JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America are making the climate crisis worse by pouring billions of dollars every year into new fossil fuel development. It’s time for regulators to step in.
In solidarity,
- Team 350
