End Fossil Finance

🎯 Have you ever wondered how to get unnoticed and without a badge into the G7 red zone with highest security, secret service and military police to drop an #EndFossilFinance banner? 🤡 Just book a room in the hotel. 🔥 We imagine a new mandate - a people's mandate: Central Bank Governors and Finance Ministers of G7 and G20 countries have the power and responsibility to end fossil finance and ensure polluters pay reparations towards the damage they’ve done. They set the rules that finance has to play by. ✅ Add your name to the mandate - https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/the-peoples-mandate 💥 and help us spread the tweet! https://x.com/endfossilfin/status/1794306250173489457

Today the 2024 Banking on Climate Chaos report launched 🔥 Check it out: http://bankingonclimatechaos.org Banks will never take by themselves the appropriate measures against the climate crisis. It is on us, to shut down their dirty business #EndFossilFinance

🚨Petition for the Swiss National Bank to respect the affected communities and its own rules🚨 On April 26th, at its AGM, SNB prevented Orlando Carriqueo, Werken Mapuche spokesman and Marianna Katz, Argentine lawyer, from entering, even though they were in possession of a shareholder delegation in due form They came to drew the shareholders' attention to the SNB's investments in fracking companies, including those in the Vaca Muerta region💸💣...against SNB's own guidelines, which prohibit investment in firms that commit "major systematic impacts on the environment" and/or "violate human rights". 🗣Let's push SNB to listen to the affected communities and stop violating their rights! 🫵Sign the petition and amplify around you🖋📝

https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6O7ioEKoTp/?igsh=MXE4bngyZjJtMzl3Ng== ⚠️The Swiss National Bank (SNB) is silencing Mapuche and Argentinian voices impacted by their investments in the fracking sites at Vaca Muerta! 🗣 A delegation of Mapuche and Argentinian environmental and human rights defenders traveled to Switzerland to hold the bank accountable for its investments and to ask it to regulate banks financing fossil fuels. 🚩While all other shareholders were able to enter, the shareholder-delegates were singled out, intimidated and discriminated against on an empty basis and not allowed in. ❌ This is absolutely unacceptable, coming from a public institution and undemocratic! We will keep resisting, standing up for indigenous and human rights to tell the truth and to hold them accountable! #VacaMuerta #EndFossilFinance

‼️SUPPORT NEEDED: Today the Swiss National Bank blocked Orlando Carriqueo Werquen (Messenger) of the Mapuche nation and Mariana Katz an argentinian Lawyer, to access to its AGM despite their shareholder right to do so! They ve been the only ones blocked this way!! 🎙This xenophobic and anti democratric action shows how deep is the public bank addiction to fossil fuels. SNB management intends to hide its investissements into the firms expanding #VacaMuerta fracking climate bomb. We need you to strike back 🔥 #endfossilfinance https://twitter.com/BreakfreeCH/status/1783772995468542312
