The annual Banking on Climate Chaos report is the gold standard for reporting on the banks that underwrite the fossil fuel industry.

This is exactly what has to happen if we're serious about climate change. And it has to happen in places like NY State, where the good guys have a majority.

[Stop the Money Pipeline @StopMoneyPipe]

Investors like @BlackRock & @Vanguard_Group have a big decision to make.

Will they vote yes on climate resolutions @Citi, @WellsFargo, & @BankofAmerica urging the banks to align with a 1.5C degree pathway, including ending support for new fossil fuels?
