Hey friend,

Wall Street has been funding white supremacy and the climate crisis for far too long. From fueling the fires of the policing and prison systems to funding dangerous fossil fuel infrastructure, it’s critical that we tear down the pillars of their systems of evil one by one. Starting with their lending and investing in tar sands which is contributing to the dirtiest, most carbon-intensive fossil fuels on our planet.

Keystone XL and Line 3 are just a couple of nationally recognized pipelines that are creating a disastrous living environment for people: territories have continuously been stripped away from Indigenous folks without consent, communities near pipelines and refineries are being poisoned, and the safety of Indigenous women are endangered. Water supplies have been tainted, wild rice lakes are being jeopardized — the lives of the people who have lived on the land for a millenia are being washed away to make room for greed and profit.

That’s why on Friday, October 2nd, we’re partnering with Stop the Money Pipeline and Indigenous frontline leaders to organize Stop Funding Tar Sands, a day of solidarity with frontline and Indigenous communities fighting back against tar sands pipelines including Line 3, Trans Mountain, and Keystone XL.

Can you join us on Friday, October 2nd at 11 PST / 2 EST for an Online Rally to hold the funders of tar sands accountable?

We want you to take action! During the online rally, there will be a live stream of actions happening outside the headquarters of the corporations bankrolling the pipelines. In between the actions, you’ll hear from Indigenous frontline leaders, including Tara Houska of the Giniw Collective, Kanahus Manuel of the Tiny House Warriors and Jasilyn Charger with Earth Guardians, who will share stories from the frontlines and opportunities to directly support defunding tar sands.

We’re confident that if enough of us come together, we can stop Wall Street from propping up the fossil fuel industry. We all know that without huge loans from banks and insurance from insurance companies, these climate-wrecking, genocidal projects couldn’t be built. If we stop the flow of money, we stop the flow of oil.

Will you join us for Stop Funding Tar Sands on Friday to hold the funders of tar sands accountable?

In solidarity,

Akilah
