Between midterm elections that are making federal climate action more challenging, UN meetings that still won’t commit to a full wind-down of fossil fuels, and a looming European fuel crisis, the obstacles we face are large. But activists around the country and the world have been fighting back, and we’re prepared to work even harder to end fossil fuels in 2023.
This past fall, over 40 organizations across the United States took action to get banks, insurance companies, asset managers, and pension funds to stop financing climate destruction. From New Orleans to New York City, Phoenix to Fort Lauderdale, Seattle to Silver Spring, hundreds of people called out Wall Street for its role in climate destruction.
Activists used art, music, and costumes to get their message across. Faith leaders, parents, young people and other identity-based groups came together to demand an end to fossil fuel financing. And dozens of people risked arrest in order to demand that Wall Street stop funding fossil fuels and deforestation.
And this was just the beginning. Next spring, shareholders at the big banks, insurance companies, and asset managers will come together to vote on critical climate resolutions and the overall direction of these Wall Street giants – and we are preparing to amp up the pressure.
