Jack, Big Banks use the money you deposit to invest in big corporations that harm our climate and violate indigenous rights—without letting you know.
And while these banks claim to have walked away from fossil fuels, their money doesn't lie. We must hold them accountable by pushing the public pension funds that finance them.
Sign the petition: Demand that State Treasurers and public pensions vote for climate justice and Indigenous rights this spring by putting pressure on these banks.

Shareholder season is when every publicly-traded company in America has their Annual General Meeting (AGM). At AGMs, investors vote on various proposals introduced by fellow shareholders. And now is the time to make our voices heard.
This April and May, investors in Wall Street banks and insurance companies will vote on at least four shareholder proposals related to climate justice and Indigenous rights. These votes are just a few of the important opportunities to stop the money pipeline, which feeds the climate crisis. How investors vote will go a long way to determining how quickly big banks and insurance companies wind down their financing for coal, oil, and gas.

Shareholder season is the time of year when every publicly-traded company in America has their Annual General Meeting (AGM). At AGMs, investors vote on a variety of proposals introduced by fellow shareholders.
This April and May, investors in Wall Street banks and insurance companies will vote on at least four shareholder proposals related to climate justice and Indigenous rights–a resolution calling for a time-bound phase-out of financing for companies engaged in fossil fuel expansion.

These votes are some of the most important climate votes that you’ve never heard of. How they pan out will go a long way to determining how quickly big banks and insurance companies wind down their financing for coal, oil, and gas. Shareholders, after all, are literally the people who own the company.
It’s vital that major public pensions―which collectively own trillions of dollars of shares in big banks and insurance companies―vote to support these resolutions.
Sign the petition to demand that State Treasurers and public pensions vote YES on critical climate justice and Indigenous rights resolutions this spring.
SIGN THE PETITION
Thanks for all you do,
Erin Tulley, Daily Kos
