Stop Funding Climate Chaos: Demonstration

October 14, 2022 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Take part in this demonstration — which is co-sponsored by No Fracked Gas in Mass and BEAT — to draw urgent attention to the moral imperative to stop funding new fossil fuel projects.

We are bringing faith leaders to the forefront of this gathering to highlight the immorality of investments that steal the future from coming generations.

This action is to speak to Big Finance on the moral imperative to stop funding fossil fuel projects… It is directed at TD Bank, which continues to finance new fossil fuel infrastructure with billions of dollars, all while science is telling us to reverse course immediately to prevent climate catastrophe.

For too long, the financial services sector has enabled the world’s fossil fuel addiction.  It is now time for financial service providers to accelerate the shift to renewables.  The scientific and moral imperative is clear: there must be no new investment in fossil fuel expansion, including production, infrastructure and exploration.
– António Guterres, UN Secretary-General.
