By now, you know the story: financial institutions like banks and asset managers are driving climate chaos by pouring billions of dollars into fossil fuels.

From fossil fuels to mining to big agribusiness, these companies are responsible for the destruction of millions of acres of forested land within Indigenous territories. This is a disaster for people and the planet: cutting down forests destroys important carbon sinks and worsens the climate crisis. It also destroys habitats, threatens biodiversity, and frequently violates the land rights of forest-dwelling communities and Indigenous peoples.

This cannot continue. Wall Street needs to be held accountable. That’s why we are collaborating with our allies at Stop the Money Pipeline to begin a month of action to tell big banks and asset managers to defund deforestation – and you can help. This Friday, September 16, at 2 pm Eastern / 11 am Pacific, the Stop the Money Pipeline Coalition is holding a webinar where we will all take action together.

JOIN THE WEBINAR THIS FRIDAY TO TAKE ACTION TO STOP DEFORESTATION AND INDIGENOUS RIGHTS VIOLATIONS:

You’ll hear from speakers including Victoria Tauli-Corpuz, activist and former UN Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and Maria Luisa Mendonça of the Network for Human Rights and Social Justice in Brazil about Wall Street’s role in making the climate crisis worse – and together, we will take concrete action to fight back.

Register for the webinar to learn why forests are critical to climate justice, what Indigenous and frontline communities are doing to stop deforestation, and how you can join the fight to hold Wall Street and corporations accountable.
