DEFUND Keystone XL!

Greenpeace

If we're going to stop pipelines like Keystone XL, we must cut them off at their source: their funding.
 

People like you have been putting major pressure on big banks to pull funding from these dangerous and controversial pipelines, and banks are paying attention! Now we're inviting you to join a powerful coalition of allies and Indigenous leadership calling for big banks to stop financing the four proposed tar sands pipelines, including KXL.
 
Send a message to major banks asking them to DEFUND Keystone XL and other dangerous pipelines today!
 
In the past few weeks, activists have rallied in Sweden at the home of the Nobel Peace Prize, at over a dozen Chase Bank branch locations in Seattle, and on the terrace inside of Trump Tower in New York, carrying the same basic demand: to have our neighbors, our elected leaders, and our institutions divest from the very fossil fuel companies that are destroying the planet. And we're not done yet!
 
Our work is already having an impact. Earlier this week, US Bank announced that it would stop funding FUTURE pipeline projects under some circumstances,1 though notably US Bank has just renewed its lending to the Dakota Access Pipeline, and to a series of natural gas pipelines in the East,2 so clearly, they (and we) have more work to do. Let's keep the pressure on!
 
Sign on to send a message to big banks today and join more than a dozen groups calling on financial institutions to defund dangerous pipelines!
 
The Dakota Access Pipeline isn't fully operational yet, and it has already leaked THREE times.3 These pipelines WILL spill, and communities across their routes are at risk.
 
We must make banks aware of the social and environmental costs they're risking when they fund these projects. Send the banks an urgent message today!
 
Thank you,

P.S. We're working with Indigenous leaders to send a message that these big banks can't ignore. Sign on to our petition today to DEFUND dangerous fossil fuel pipelines!
