Wall Street is a major contributor to the climate crisis: Big banks and other financial institutions invest over $700,000,000 per year into oil pipelines, gas wells, and coal mines! The Big Banks only care about their bottom line — not the hurricanes, wildfires, heat waves, and other extreme weather events that are driven by the climate crisis. And they only care about satisfying their executives and shareholders — not about the Black, brown, Indigenous, and low-income communities who are hit the hardest by climate chaos. Join us on Tuesday, February 8, 2022 at 7:00 p.m. ET on Zoom to learn more about how you can stop Wall Street from funding the climate crisis. Public Citizen and our allies in the Stop the Money Pipeline coalition are hosting a 4-part Toxic Money digital training series to expose the Big Banks and organize collective action to rein in Wall Street. At next week’s virtual event, you’ll hear from: - Sharon LaVigne, Founder of Rise St James, an environmental justice organization which fights petrochemical development that would threaten public health and produce more throwaway plastic.
- Tracey Lewis, Policy Counsel with Public Citizen’s Climate program, an expert on equity, environmental law, and environmental policy.
- Lisa Anne Hamilton, former Director of the Climate & Energy program for the Center for International Environmental Law and a climate law and policy expert.
RSVP now to hear from them next Tuesday, February 8, at 7:00 p.m. ET on Zoom. These leaders know the dangers of Wall Street’s toxic money firsthand — and they know the power the law has to rein in financial institutions and stop them from fueling the climate crisis. Together we can push the federal government and its regulators to step in, and stop financial institutions from destroying our planet. Sign up now for next week’s digital training to be part of the movement to take on Wall Street and fight the climate crisis. I hope you’ll be able to join us, East
