DESCRIPTION:How to Stop the Money Pipeline: Climate Finance 101\n\nWhen: May 7, 2020 @ 
 3 PM PT (6 PM ET)\n\nWhere: Online via Zoom, RSVP at link below\n\nHost: 
 Stop The Money Pipeline https://stopthemoneypipeline.com/\n\nCome join an 
 interactive training that will explore how the financial industry - from 
 asset managers to banks to institutional investors to insurance companies - 
 are fueling the climate crisis and how organizers from the global North to 
 the global South are fighting back. \n\nJP Morgan Chase and Blackrock pour 
 tens of billions of dollars into the fossil fuel industry every year — 
 and in the next fourteen days both of them are holding their annual general 
 meetings.\n\nIn the midst of a global pandemic that's causing an 
 unprecedented collapse in fossil fuel stocks the question is this: will 
 they double-down on climate chaos, violating human and Indigenous 
 people’s rights, or will they finally make the right choice to bankroll a 
 liveable climate and a better future.\n\n The coal industry is bankrupt and 
 the fracking industry is a house of cards built on bad loans that are 
 starting to go belly up. With a rampant public health crisis on our hands 
 and the fossil fuel industry in terminal decline, now is the time for 
 banks, insurance companies, and asset managers to change their loan and 
 investment policies.\n\nRather than support the exploitation of the earth 
 for the last drops of profit at the expense of the people and the health 
 and safety of communities, Wall Street should stop funding, insuring, and 
 investing in fossil fuels and deforestation entirely and invest in people, 
 not not climate chaos.\n\nTonight's webinar will explore:\n\n--How a basic 
 understanding of the pillars of financial capitalism can set up your 
 finance campaign for success.\n\n--How to use a rights-based framework that 
 respects people in finance campaigning\n\n--What strategies and tactics are 
 most effective — particularly campaigns for divestment, shareholder 
 engagement, and campaigns for government regulation.\n\n--How campaigns 
 that center and amplify frontline voices in grassroots action isn’t just 
 strategic but absolutely necessary.\n\nThis training will empower anyone to 
 take on Wall Street as a tool to tackle climate change. \n
