Friend,
Last week, we joined our partners in the climate movement to hand-deliver a petition to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen ahead of a major climate report's release. 40,000 climate advocates like you signed on to a petition to demand she use every tool she can to address the climate crisis.
That new report is now out. While it's a good first step at addressing climate change's serious threat to our country's financial stability, it's far from enough.
With a climate-fueled financial crash more likely by the day, we need Secretary Yellen to rise to the moment and take bold action.
Will you help keep up the pressure by tweeting @SecYellen and demanding she take action against Big Polluters and fossil fuel financing? (We've drafted language for you, so just click here if you'd like to join our social pressure campaign.)
The new report acknowledges the threat climate change will have on our financial systems. But acknowledgements and academic studies are not the same thing as action.
Because here are the stakes: Our pensions, small business loans, retirement funds, and college savings accounts are at risk.
Secretary Yellen, now is the time for action. Now is the time to shut down the money pipeline that's financing fossil fuels and threatening lives and livelihoods.
Will you take a quick, simple action today so that Secretary Yellen knows where you stand? Tweet @SecYellen to keep the momentum up and the pressure on.
Let's do this,
Lena Moffitt
Campaigns Director, Evergreen Action
