<P>I’ve spent the last four years working with people resisting fracking in Vaca

farmland, damaging people’s health and poisoning their water. [1] Local families
live in constant fear of earthquakes caused by the fracking process.

operator in the region. I’m asking you to stand with us in disrupting their
access to money, and <STRONG><A

<P><STRONG>YPF is only able to carry out its dangerous, dirty business because
of the support they get from big European and U.S. banks</STRONG> like Morgan
Stanley, HSBC, and Deutsche Bank. [4]</P>
<P>By lending billions of dollars to, or owning shares in YPF, these banks are
enabling destruction and <STRONG>making huge profits while local people
suffer</STRONG> from <SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400">cancer, asthma and skin
diseases caused by fracking</SPAN>. [5] To top it off, most of these banks
are headquartered in countries and states where fracking is banned, because of
how dangerous it is! [6]</P>
<P><STRONG>If we can cut off the flow of money and show international resistance
to fracking in Vaca Muerta, we can slow down and hopefully stop
YPF.</STRONG></P>

<P><STRONG>Fracking in Vaca Muerta could have deadly consequences outside of
Argentina too</STRONG>. Only 4% of the Vaca Muerta region has been developed so
far, but YPF has huge expansion plans. [7]</P>
<P>The oil and gas underground there <STRONG>could release 50 billion tons of
CO2 into our atmosphere</STRONG> [8] - pushing the earth further towards
climate breakdown. <BR><BR>That’s why it’s so important that we call out these
banks now - before any new projects get off the ground. </P>

<P><STRONG>People are coming together across Argentina and the world to stand
against the frackers. </STRONG>From indigenous leaders to unions and even the
United Nations - people are speaking up. [9]</P>
<P><STRONG>We know this kind of pressure works</STRONG>.</P>
<P>Recently, <STRONG>many banks tied to YPF, ruled out funding another
destructive project - the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) - because of
international resistance from our movement</STRONG>. [10]</P>
<P>That’s why I am asking you to stand with the people of Argentina today,
Vladimir. Call on the banks funding YPF to stop funding destruction and fund the
just transition instead. Ask them to help bring good jobs, real progress and
climate justice to Argentina.</P>
<P>I hope we can count on your solidarity in this fight.</P>
<P>In determination, </P>

Argentina - please watch and share with your friends and family on <A
