            We’re on global red alert: from the Amazon to the Congo Basin, 
megafires are turning the world’s forests to ash at record speed.

            An area the size of Panama has already been scorched at a 
staggering rate of 18 football fields per minute. Scientists are warning 
that if we don’t buck the trend fast, our most precious natural carbon sinks 
could be permanently destroyed, triggering climate chaos and misery for 
millions.

            Yet the worst offenders behind this destruction – a rotten, 
predatory financial industry that's poured an astounding $6 trillion into 
dirty fossil fuel companies driving deforestation in the last few years 
alone – are flying completely under the radar. Their profits are even 
soaring!

            Together, we could change that. The world’s most important 
climate summit is just months away so we have a golden opportunity to turn 
up the heat on bank execs and politicians while all eyes are on them!

            We have a crack team ready to unleash a wave of winning tactics 
like: filing complaints with financial regulators around the world, 
launching smart legal strategies, and ramping up our campaigns in the media 
to expose these big banks.

            Let’s make the next few months a turning point for the planet. 
Can you help stop climate criminals from destroying the world?

            Scientists are freaking out: they haven’t seen fires like this 
in decades. But it hasn’t come out of the blue – years of punishing drought 
and scorching heatwaves driven by global heating have pushed our iconic 
forests into crisis.

            Barclays, JPMorgan Chase, Citi and Bank of America are carrying 
on with business as usual: pumping billions every year into dirty energy 
projects, even though these banks pledged to drastically reduce their 
emissions. The companies that they generously provide with loans, 
investments and insurance cause 80 percent of total greenhouse gas 
emissions.

            If banks simply stopped financing fossil fuels, it would be a 
real reset for the global economy – and for the fight against climate 
change.

            But right now, the financial incentives are all wrong. We need 
to force banks and insurers to rethink and recalculate how they do business. 
Together, we could make this happen if we have enough funds to tackle the 
enormous work ahead of us like:

              a.. Filing complaints with financial regulators around the 
world to rein in toxic big banks;
              a.. Making these CEOs famous for their role in climate chaos, 
hounding them at public appearances and splashing their faces on billboards 
and in the media;
              a.. Pushing governments to pass new laws and regulations to 
close loopholes and make fossil fuel projects too expensive and too 
difficult to bankroll;
              a.. Organising employees of targeted banks and insurers to 
oppose their companies’ policies from the inside;
            and more!

            I'll donate $4

            I'll donate $5
            I'll donate $9
            I'll donate another amount


            Your donation will help power Ekō and our campaigns worldwide 
fighting for people and the planet.



            These companies are at the root of the climate crisis – and 
countless other tragedies that impact us all. If we’re going to save the 
planet, we’ll have to change the way they do business fast.

            Together we convinced insurance giant AIG to stop underwriting a 
disastrous, climate-wrecking coal mine near the Great Barrier Reef. With 
your help now, we can take on the biggest players of the financial industry 
and win again. Are you with us?


            Thanks for all that you do,
            Yasmin, Miriam, and the Ekō team
