We’ve completed step one,
John.

Our movement successfully pressured President Biden to nominate the most
diverse and well-qualified slate of candidates to the Federal Reserve who
will take climate risk seriously.^1

Now comes step two: It’s our job to make sure that, once confirmed, these
nominees get to work right away to drastically reshape our economy and cut
off the flow of funds from big banks to fossil fuels.

This Earth Day, April 22, our movement is taking action outside Federal
Reserve branches and other key locations across the country to call for
change at the Fed – and you live near one of these
actions,
John.

The Federal Reserve’s job is to protect our economy and financial system
from risk – that includes climate risk. But for years, they’ve done the
exact opposite by bailing out fossil fuel companies and allowing the
largest US banks to pour nearly $1 trillion into fossil fuels.^2

During the pandemic, the Federal Reserve bailed out fossil fuel companies
— including TC Energy (Keystone XL pipeline), Energy Transfer Partners
(Dakota Access pipeline) and Enbridge (Line 3 tar sands pipeline) —
through its emergency lending program.^3

Through these actions on Earth Day, we will demand that the Federal
Reserve phase out all fossil fuel financing from the banks by 2030 – and
instead encourage 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.

#FossilFreeFed action on Friday, April 22 in
Washington.

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

Hope to see you there.
