Did you see this, John?

655 people were arrested at the Capitol as part of Indigenous-led demonstrations demanding that our leaders take urgent action to phase out fossil fuels.

Throughout the week, thousands took peaceful action to demand that Biden keep the promises he made to be a champion for our climate and communities. Indigenous leaders also delivered one million petition signatures asking Biden to stop the Line 3 pipeline.

As negotiations about the Build Back Better Act in Congress drag on – there’s another key climate action that Biden can take with or without Congress: appoint a climate champion to the Federal Reserve to ensure the Fed accounts for climate risk immediately.

That’s why on Friday, October 29, our movement is taking action outside Federal Reserve branches and banks across the country – and we need you there, John.

Will you check out the map of actions on Friday, October 29 and join an action near you to stop the flow of money to big oil?

During the Fossil Free Future day of action, hosted alongside our partners at the Future Coalition, we’ll not only target the Federal Reserve, but also big banks like Chase and BlackRock who are the top funders of fossil fuel projects.

Central banks like the Federal Reserve are the referees of the financial system, holding power to enforce new rules and cut the flow of money to fossil fuels. It’s the Fed's responsibility to assess and account for risks to the U.S. economy, and that includes climate risk.

These actions will amplify our core demands:

Ahead of COP26, we are calling on the Federal Reserve to phase out all fossil fuel financing by 2030.
Biden must appoint a Chair to the Fed who will take the mandate of climate risks seriously.
Encourage and support banks to make investments aimed at limiting global temperature rise to 1.5°C, with a particular emphasis on lending to low-income communities and communities of color.

Please RSVP now and invite your networks to join you this Friday, October 29 at an action near you.

Together we can show the power of our demands and build the pressure needed to win.

Hope to see you there.
