            It’s spring. Flowers are blooming and birds are cooing. But for 
the execs and shareholders of the world's most polluting financial 
companies, it’s time to hold their Annual General Meetings - where they 
celebrate profits and approve all the bonuses they reaped from funding 
fossil fuels and exploiting our people and planet.

            What big finance doesn't want you to know is that AGMs are also 
a time for demanding corporate change. And this year, activists all around 
the world are taking mass action to disrupt business as usual at these 
crucial meetings.

            Over the years, any progress or breakthrough at these companies 
has been won thanks to people power's relentless actions and presence at 
AGMs. They have helped hold each company accountable for their climate 
destruction and urged them to change tracks.

            Vladimir, to meet the urgency of the climate crisis, we need to 
unite together and take action to increase the pressure like never before. 
We’re starting by holding our own online People’s Rally, uniting a new 
cohort of activists to escalate the pressure during the coming AGM season. 
Will you join this People's AGM to unite, empower and plan our battle 
against big finance?

            Join us with #DefundClimateChaos on April 21st at 6:00 PM BST 
(7pm CEST) for the virtual People’s AGM, to join communities on the 
frontlines of climate breakdown and take action against biggest funders and 
insurers of fossil fuel projects!



            Through our protests, petitions and online actions, we've seen 
companies change internal policies and shareholders pass progressive 
resolutions at AGMs.

            AGMs are definitely important strategic days in the corporate 
calendar, a bit like their “birthday party.” So that’s why we surely won’t 
be giving them a break on this day. Surprise, surprise, here we are.

            It's 2022, and we can’t take greenwashing anymore. Fed up with 
fine words, we want concrete action, now.

            Together with partners at #DefundClimateChaos coalition and 
Indigenous Land Defenders, we are excited to be supporting an online rally 
where activists like you, Vladimir, can come together to learn, share and 
strategize. There will be stories from frontline communities, updates from 
campaigns from across Europe, breakout spaces to take online action to have 
our targets hear our demands and opportunities to organize together for 
coming AGMs and actions – online and offline.

            This People’s AGM will be our powerful moment to come together 
and build the momentum to make real change this spring and end fossil fuel 
finance for good.

            You can also register here if you want to join the People AGM on 
21st April at 6pm BST (7pm CEST) and loop yourself in directly with the 
#DefundClimateChaos movement to hear more about their upcoming AGM actions 
and trainings.
