Protest Citigroup Thursday at Noon!
by gatito • Wednesday April 24, 2002 at 04:56 PM
Citigroup, number one funder of the fossil fuel industry and the world's biggest global warmer
makes its profits at the expense of the planet and its inhabitants Protest at noon tomorrow
(Thursday April 25th ) at 590 Market Street. Protest Citigroup, the world's most destructive
bank!
Stop the World's most destructive bank! Refuse to do business with Citigroup! Refuse to let
Citi use your money to fund global warming and global
forest destruction. Recently, Dutch bank
ABN AMRO’s decision to cease funding for
extractive industries within pristine forests
set a global standard that banks must finally take
responsibility for profiting from destruction.
Mass species extinction,
rising sea levels, and the spread of diseases are the
result of global warming stemming from our deadly
fossil fuel addiction. As the
largest financial institution in the world and the #1
financier of fossil fuel projects, Citi determines
what projects get funding and what do not. As a
financial
powerhouse, the world’s largest bank must take
responsibility for its actions. Citi must stop
profiting from this deadly industry and begin financing
clean alternatives, such as solar and wind. As the
race for remaining fossil fuel reserves becomes more
heated,
Citi has turned its investments to the Amazon, fueling
an oil boom in pristine rainforest ecosystems and on
sacred indigenous lands.
Citi’s destruction can be traced from redlining and
predatory lending, indebting people of color in our
inner cities, to participating in the OCP / Ecuador
pipeline where activists have put their bodies on the
line to save their treasured forests. From Citigroup’s
partnership with Enron in the contested Dabhol power
plant in India to profiting from global warming,
Citigroup lives up to its reputation as the World’s
Most Destructive Bank. On Earth Day, send a strong
message that now is the time to REFUSE Citi, and tell
them“Not with My Money!”
