“Stop the Money Pipeline” – Social Media Blitz

On January 10, a large coalition of activist organizations (350PDX included!) launched a major new mobilization, Stop the Money Pipeline, targeting the financial sector’s funding of climate chaos. Our goal is to stop the funding of climate destruction. That means banks, insurance companies, and investors need to stop funding fossil fuels and deforestation and start respecting human rights and Indigenous sovereignty. 

The Stop the Money Pipeline mobilization will bring together the fossil fuel divestment movement with three major campaigns targeting three main pillars of the financial sector. For banks, we’re going after JP Morgan Chase, the bank who is pumping the most money into fossil fuels. For insurance companies, we’re targeting Liberty Mutual,one of the largest insurers of new fossil fuel projects. For asset managers, we’re targeting BlackRock, the largest asset manager in the world and the biggest investor in fossil fuels and deforestation. 

Spread the word about this important new effort. Below are some sample tweets, talking points, and graphics that you can use to support the mobilization.

  • Big news! Today is the launch of a major new mobilization go after a root cause of the climate crisis: Wall Street’s financing of fossil fuels. Big banks, insurance companies, and asset managers are pumping *trillions* of dollars into fossil fuels and deforestation. In fact, that money is what keeps the fossil fuel industry alive. If we can cut off this money pipeline, it will be a HUGE step in addressing the climate emergency.

  • Money makes the world go ‘round. It also makes the climate burn. Since the Paris Agreement in 2016, big banks have pumped $1.9 trillion into new fossil fuel projects. That’s right: they’re taking your money and using it to destroy our future. We have the power to make them stop. Today is the launch of an exciting new mobilization called “Stop the Money Pipeline’” that is going to be fighting for an end to fossil fuel finance.

  • Did you know you’re carrying a key cause of the climate crisis around in your wallet? That’s right: if you own a credit card, you’re probably supporting a big bank that’s investing billions of dollars in climate destruction. Own a Chase card? They’re the worst of the worst. Since 2016, Chase has invested *$196 billion* in new fossil fuel infrastructures. Today is the launch of a major new effort to take on the big banks, insurance companies, and asset managers that are funding the climate crisis. We have the power to stop them if we work together.

  • Do you look at the gridlock in Washington and feel like solving the climate crisis is hopeless? Well there’s another major source of power in this country: Wall Street. It’s equally, if not even *more* important when it comes to addressing the climate emergency. That’s because every year big banks are pumping billions of dollars into fossil fuel companies that are destroying our climate. Without that money, the industry wouldn’t be able to exist. As consumers, we have the power to force banks like JP Morgan Chase, insurance companies like Liberty Mutual, and investors like BlackRock to stop funding fossil fuels!
