bank nap-ins!
At a nap-in, the youngest climate rebels occupy local branches to demand that the big banks stop financing the Fossil Fuel Industry. We tell climate bedtime stories and take a collective nap, to remind the banks helping to drive the climate crisis that the next generation will have to live with their choices.
Find resources below to stage a nap-in wherever you are!
Mr. D needs our help!
Sometimes when people are not acting nice, we need to get our friends together and tell them to stop.
Let’s tell Mr. D that we like him but his bank needs to stop giving money to companies that are hurting the earth.
STOP, Mr. D! You will be sad in the future about the damage you have caused and we don’t want you to feel sad.
STOP, Mr. D! We are your friends and we are going to do everything we can to help you and all the other people in the financial industry to get out of your bubbles and do the right thing.
And that is why we are here today! We have come together because we want big changes! What else are we tired of?
We are tired of… We are tired of… We are tired of…
Creating the world we want to live in is a big job, but together, with all of our friends and families, we can do it!
We will also need to take good care of ourselves and get lots of rest to be strong enough to insist on the big changes our world needs right now.
Let's take a few minutes to rest and think about our next steps.
Mr. D is the head of a big bank and he lives in a bubble!
The bubble is very shiny and when you first see it, living in a bubble looks like fun.
But living in a bubble makes it hard to connect with other people.
Oh no!
Living in a bubble means Mr. D can’t see clearly how the actions of his bank are hurting people and animals all over the earth.
Living in a bubble confuses you too! It can make you think that making more and more money is more important than taking good care of all the living things around you.
Oh no!
Mr. D has a family that he cares deeply about but living in his bubble he can’t see how what he and his bank are doing will impact his children, grandchildren, and all future generations.
