Hi,



EARTHDAY.ORG invites you to join another installment of our Earth Day Live series this Thursday, March 16th at 12 pm EST (GMT-4) entitled Divest/Invest: How We Stop Banks from Fueling the Climate Crisis. This digital event will focus on mobilizing the youth to stop bank investments in the fossil fuel industry by signing the Banking on our Future Pledge and getting involved in the March 21st Day of Action to Stop Dirty Banks.



Despite the climate crisis, our biggest banks are huge funders of coal and gas and oil companies. In the years since the Paris climate accords, they have given more than three trillion dollars in loans to these companies, even as scientists have told us we must stop the expansion of this industry. The fossil fuel industry polluting our atmosphere can’t exist without money from banks and investors. If we stop the Big Four Banks — Bank of America, Chase, Citibank, and Wells Fargo — from investing, we help shut down the industry.



This Earth Day Live event will feature powerful voices leading the charge in advocating for a greener future for all generations. Co-founders and members of the Third Act <[link removed]> as well as the non-profit, 350.org <[link removed]>, will dive into how you can take steps to move your money to better, greener banks, credit unions, and credit cards.



You have the power to influence the world’s largest banks, will you help put an end to our money being used to bankroll the climate crisis?  <[link removed]>

We look forward to an engaging conversation <[link removed]> on the disinvestment of banks in the industrial world through the lens of the current generation and a climate-forward pledge. 



For mobilization,



Kathleen Rogers

President
