350 Wenatchee Climate Conversations NCW

This spring, shareholders of the big banks are considering resolutions to push the banks to stop financing fossil fuel expansion. As major investors, State Treasurers have a critical role to play in helping to stop the flow of money to fossil fuels.

Can you email your State Treasurer today and ask them to vote YES on the No Expansion climate resolutions before the big banks and insurance companies this spring?

Earlier this week, the New York State Comptroller announced that their office will be supporting the No Expansion resolutions. The NYS Comptroller manages the 3rd largest pension fund in the country, with $280 billion in assets, so this announcement is an important step in our campaign.

Now, we need to keep up the momentum, and have other state treasurers and financial managers announce their support of the No Expansion resolutions. You can help by emailing your State Treasurer now and asking them to vote yes on the climate resolutions this spring!

According to the well-respected International Energy Agency (IEA), in order to contain global warming to 1.5°C, new fossil fuel construction needs to stop immediately. More fossil fuels means more climate chaos – storms, floods, heat waves, fires, crop failures, and more. Our State Treasurers can help protect their constituents by voting yes to push the banks to stop funding fossil fuel expansion.

Email your Treasurer now and demand they vote yes on the No Expansion resolutions at the bank and insurance company shareholder meetings this spring.

Unlike other large investors, State Treasurers are democratically elected and accountable to their constituents – so every call and email we drive to their office really makes a difference. With the first shareholder meetings coming up on April 26, now is the time to amp up the pressure on large investors.

Can you email your Treasurer today? Together, we can stop the flow of money to fossil fuels!
