                        Antarctica’s latest record-setting heatwave is just the tip of the iceberg -- our climate is spinning dangerously out of control.

                        We’ve got a plan to expose the investment banks footing the bill for climate chaos -- but we need your help to pull it off.

            Last week Antarctica broke its record for highest-ever recorded temperature. It was warm enough for shorts and t-shirts.

            Let that sink in. Our planet is sending us a grave warning, and we need to listen.

            People like you and me try to do our bit every day. Meanwhile, a handful of corporations unleash carbon on an eye-watering scale -- just 100 companies are responsible for over 71% of all greenhouse gas emissions.

            These companies won’t change a thing as long as they’re making money. But guess what: they rely on a tiny handful of banks to stay in business. And some of these banks are getting cold feet about investing their trillions in cooking the Earth.

            If these banks defund fossil fuels, it could literally reset our global economy and paint it green for generations to come.

            If you donate today, we can build a team of experts that will expose the finance industry's responsibility for climate chaos and force them to change. This could be the turning point for our planet, but we simply can’t do it without your help today.

            You can make this plan a reality, Vladimir. Chip in $1 today to hold the worst climate criminals to account.

            Yes, I'll chip $1 today to fight climate chaos.

            The investment banks leading the world over the cliff of climate catastrophe are household names -- JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Bank of America, Wells Fargo -- but their ties to the fossil fuel industry aren’t as well known.

            If you help make these banks just as famous for fueling climate chaos as they are for having their names plastered all over sports stadiums, you can cause an investor uprising that will scare these banks into ditching fossil fuels. Without help from investment banks, new coal mines and fracking projects can’t get off the ground.

            Here’s how we’ll do it:

              a.. Hire a squad of expert climate defenders and pair them up with a stunt team that will hound executives from these banks at public appearances 
              b.. Purchase smart ad buys in the influential financial media outlets investors read every day to alert them to how their money is funding the destruction of our climate 
              c.. Organize employees of targeted investment banks to oppose their companies’ policies from the inside 
              d.. File shareholder resolutions around the world to change the rules for investing in favor of the planet 
            This plan is ambitious and bold, I know. But ambitious and bold is the only thing that will save life on Earth. And your support today can make this plan a reality.

            Will you chip in $1 today to kickstart our campaign to end the financing of the fossil fuel industry? 

            You can be confident this plan can work. Why? Because SumOfUs members like you have played a decisive role in victories for our climate using these proven tactics before.

            Thanks to your grassroots power and timely donations, you helped delay the massive TransMountain pipeline in Canada and convinced insurance giant AIG to end its underwriting of a disastrous, climate-wrecking coal mine in Australia.

            Your support today will kickstart a campaign to strike at the root of our climate crisis: the dirty money that’s recklessly funding new fossil fuel power plants and coal mines around the world.

            Chip in $1 today to launch this new effort to expose the worst investment banks ruining our climate.


            Thanks for all that you do, 
            Will, Anna, and the team at SumOfUs
