We just watched Australia burn for five months. Now
Antarctica’s set a record for its hottest temperature in
history… for the second time in a week!
The climate
emergency is destroying our planet, right now, and somehow getting
worse every day.
Yet the worst offenders behind it --
a rotten, predatory financial sector that has poured an
unbelievable $1.9 trillion into fossil fuels in the last 3 years
alone -- are flying completely under the
radar.
We’re going to change
that.
SumOfUs has a plan to build a crack
team of climate campaigners to expose the financial industry’s
responsibility for climate chaos, then run massive
campaigns in the media and with shareholders to force them to
change. We’ll shine the spotlight on these giants like never
before.
It could be a turning point for the planet, but we can’t
do it without your help. Will you chip in monthly to hold
the worst climate criminals to account?

Scientists are losing it, saying “We’ve never seen anything like
this.” But household names like JPMorgan Chase, Citi, and
Bank of America just carry on with business as
usual.
The companies they shower with loans, investment, and
insurance are responsible for 71% of all greenhouse gas
emissions. If the banks just defunded fossil fuels, it
could literally reset our global economy.
Right now the
financial incentives are too high for them to change. We need to
change the calculation, by making these banks as famous for
fueling climate chaos as they are for plastering their names all
over sports stadiums. Here’s how we’ll do it:
- Build a team of expert climate defenders to
run mega-campaigns that expose the worst offenders;
- Make the CEOs famous for their personal role
in climate destruction, hounding them at public appearances and
splashing their faces on billboards and in the media;
- Organize employees of targeted investment
banks to oppose their companies’ policies from the
inside;
- File shareholder resolutions around the world
to change the rules for investing in favor of the planet.
These banks are the root of the climate crisis. If we’re going to
save the planet, this has to work.
We know it can
work because we’ve done it before, convincing insurance
giant AIG to end its underwriting of a disastrous, climate-wrecking
coal mine near the Great Barrier Reef. So let’s do it again --

The plan is ambitious and bold, I know. But ambitious and bold is
the only thing that will save life on Earth -- and your support
today can help make it happen.
