Jackson Hole Economic Symposium 101 | Here’s everything you need to know to get up to speed on the Fed’s most important gathering in one week. | First, what’s going on: Each year, officials from the Federal Reserve (along with influential bankers, asset managers, and government officials) gather for the Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium in Wyoming. The event sets important policy goals and has a huge ripple effect across the entire global financial system. The climate crisis is a MAJOR threat to our economic stability, and we need to make climate a priority at the symposium. What we are doing: From August 25 to 28, we’ll be showing up to peacefully demand action led by our friends at 350 Colorado. We’ve rented a group campsite and will have folks on the ground, but we still need your help from afar. What you can do to help: We need your help to call Bill Medley, the Public Information Officer of The Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, to make sure climate is on the agenda. The Kansas City Federal Reserve, as the main organizer of this event, has the moral obligation to make sure that the Fed prioritizes protecting our planet and stopping fossil fuel financing. Call Bill Medley at 816-881-2557 Hi, my name is ____ from ____, and I’m calling to ask whether the climate crisis is going to be a central part of the agenda for the upcoming Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium. The Federal Reserve is supposed to protect the stability of the US economy, and the financial well-being of all Americans, and there’s no bigger threat to our economy than the worsening impacts of the climate crisis. [good place for something personal – for example: As a resident of ____, I have experienced stronger storms/droughts/fires and this is a direct result of the climate crisis. Climate change has affected my community, my family, and myself. And we can’t keep ignoring what this means for Americans like myself.] The Federal Reserve must take strong action to end fossil fuel financing and promote investment in a sustainable, green economy for all, with a particular focus on the frontline communities most impacted. Can we get your commitment to ensure climate is a key part of the agenda? Write to Bill Medley | Use our tool to send a letter to Bill Medley’s email. You can customize your message and it will be immediately sent to his inbox. What’s next: Stay tuned for more information directly from the ground in Jackson Hole and more ways you can help amplify our message no matter where you are. Follow along on social media at #FossilFreeFed. Together we can demand that climate be the central priority at this meeting and make clear that we expect an end to fossil fuel financing.
