Dear Defender of Wildlife,
What if we can save Arctic wildlife by cutting off oil companies from their money supply?
It’s possible: Last month, Goldman Sachs became the first U.S. bank to rule out financing oil and gas drilling in the Arctic, including the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
Because advocates like you are demanding it, Goldman Sachs joins the ranks of over a dozen international banks who are also saying "NO" to financing fossil fuel destruction in the pristine Arctic Refuge.
Your words matter! Now is the time to urge other major U.S. banks to stand up against destroying the Arctic Refuge, home to the world’s most imperiled polar bear population.
ACT NOW: Demand that these bank CEOs pull their money out of destroying the Arctic!
Oil companies have their sights set on the coastal plain of the Arctic Refuge, an oasis for wildlife that includes Arctic foxes, musk oxen, wolves, grizzly bears and over 200 species of migratory birds.
Your signature will make sure your voice is heard on behalf of these animals by the CEOs of major banks, including JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Citi, Bank of America and Morgan Stanley.
We need to generate as much pressure on bank CEOs as possible to show them that the public is opposed to turning the Refuge into an oilfield. Financing fossil fuel operations in the Refuge will cause extreme reputational risk and threatens wildlife, indigenous communities and the climate.
Polar bears, wolves, Arctic foxes and other wildlife are counting on us to protect their home. Stand with them by lending your voice today!
With the Trump Administration chomping at the bit to open the Refuge to industrial invasion, these bankers might be our last best hope for preventing a multi-layered eco-catastrophe.
Save the Refuge: Tell these banks to stand with wildlife and pull the plug on Arctic drilling!
Sincerely,
|
