The Bank of England is allowing banks to pour billions and billions into the fossil fuel industry. In a few days, we could change that.
Chancellor Rishi Sunak is deciding right now whether the government’s bankers should keep helping climate villains like BP and Shell, or become climate heroes instead. All he needs is a push from you.
And this is how: we’ve got a massive four-page ad ready to run in Chancellor Sunak’s local paper this Friday, asking him to stop banks funding filthy fossil fuels.
Sunak represents a small constituency — he’ll know all his voters will see our ad and know he has the power to do something to save our planet from climate change. Let’s send him a message:
Will you chip in to make Sunak pull the plug on planet destroyers?
Almost 60,000 members like you all across the UK have signed our climate petition to the Bank of England and the Chancellor. The governor of the Bank of England says he’s ready to take climate action -- that’s progress! -- but Sunak needs to give him a green light first.
