BLACKROCK NEEDS
TO STOP INVESTING
IN CLIMATE CHAOS.
BlackRock is the world's biggest investor in coal, oil and gas, and deforestation. They can choose to continue to back extinction, or solutions. Here's how you can help.
STOP FUNDING AMAZON DESTRUCTION
As we watch the Amazon burn, BlackRock's role as the world's biggest investor in the companies driving deforestation is coming under scrutiny.
Sign the petition asking them to cease profiting from the continued destruction of the Amazon.
STOP FUNDING THE CLIMATE CRISIS
Our partners at the Sierra Club are sending letters to BlackRock's CEO to "put your money and power where your mouth is: stop investing in climate destruction."
Send a letter at the Sierra Club activist site.
