This summer, we’ve seen the cost of our ongoing dependence on fossil fuels. You might have noticed the major heat wave simmering across much of the US and Europe last week and into this week. And just this month, we’ve seen deadly wildfires in Algeria, Greece, Italy, Tunisia, and other parts of Europe and North Africa.
This week we released a video in partnership with Stop Big Oil featuring New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, who is helping lead the movement to divest cities from fossil fuels and invest in climate solutions. But Lander and NYC can’t do it alone. We need to rein in the big banks that are pumping trillions of dollars into fossil fuel companies, fueling the climate crisis.
We know that these impacts will only get worse if we keep investing in the companies responsible for the crisis. We know that a return on investment in more fossil fuels looks like more heatwaves, wildfires, and smoke filled skies.
We’ll give you a handy call script, and our call tool will help connect you with your Congressperson’s office to speak with a staff member directly. All you have to do is make the call.
The Fossil Free Finance Act would mandate the biggest banks to stop financing fossil fuels, by both forcing banks to prioritize lending to companies that provide benefits to workers impacted by the transition to a clean energy economy, and to stop funding companies and projects that perpetuate environmental racism on frontline communities.
