DIVEST FROM CHASE
EVENT: JOIN US MARCH 5th for a Chase Divest Car Caravan
UPDATE: Chase bank is a major funder of the Line 3 pipeline.
JPMorgan Chase is the world’s largest funder of the fossil fuel industry.
In the four years after the Paris Agreement was adopted in late 2015, Chase provided nearly $269 billion to fossil fuel corporations that are building coal mines, oil pipelines, and fracked gas terminals ― that’s 36% more than any other bank in the world.
In the same period, Chase loaned more than $196 billion to fossil fuel companies—nearly a third more than the second-highest offender, Wells Fargo.
Between 2016 and 2019, Chase, Wells Fargo, and B of A provided $80 billion in funding for fracking projects.
Between 2016 and 2018, Chase provided $1.7 billion of funding for Arctic oil and gas projects
If you’re a Chase customer, you’re the one paying for all this.
And you have the power to stop it.
Divest today and tell Chase loud and clear: we won’t stand for murder in the name of profit.
Not a Chase customer? You still have power. Banks rely on tricks of public perception to keep their status, and that status is essential to maintaining their bottom line. Help us tell the world about Chase’s dirty secret, and drive mass divestment.
For the last three years, organizers have been building a powerful, nationally networked campaign to hold Chase accountable for its complicity in the climate crisis.
