Since the Paris Accord’s in 2015, Chase Bank has made more new fossil fuel loans than any other bank. They are determined to continue.
On September 22nd, 2022, Chase CEO Jamie Dimon testified before Congress and was asked if he would consider stopping providing fossil fuel loans and he replied that not funding new oil and gas production "would be the road to hell for America."
Two months later at the Annual Global Climate Change Conference UN Secretary General Antonio told the truth saying, “We are in the fight of our lives, and we are losing,” and then continued with “We are on a highway to climate hell with our foot still on the accelerator.”
We can stop Chase from funding climate change by joining together nationally to move our money from Chase and other mega banks like Citi Bank, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo. In less than a year 17,000 people have pledged to move their accounts.
One of 70 nationwide bank protests is happening here on beautiful Bainbridge Island. Our action will be respectful, fun and pointed. We will hear some heartfelt words from local faith and climate leaders and march together to Chase bank and ask them to divest from fossil fuels.
Folks over 60 control over 70% of the personal wealth in the US. We have untapped power to persuade. Join us on Winslow Green at NOON on March 21, 2023, while we celebrate all island climate activists and educate our beloved community about dirty banking.
