Don’t do business with greed-based banks

Banks who fund the pipelines at Standing Rock and Keystone XL are making decisions based on greed rather that what is best for the community, the country and in the end, the world.

By backing pipelines, they are condoning potential water problems that can and will hinder access to clean, safe water for the communities around the pipelines.

Wells Fargo is one of 17 investors funding operations that go against the Paris Agreement, the agreement that, under President Obama, committed us to reducing fossil fuels and to seeking alternative energy sources that would reduce pollution,and slow down global warming for everyone on our planet.

I will never do business with any financial institution that funds projects that will do harm to people around the pipelines and to the air, water and soil that sustain all of us.
