If you bank or have credit cards with Chase, Citi, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Capital One, U.S. Bank or other major Wall Street banks — or if you insure your home and/or auto with Liberty Mutual, Travelers, All-State, GEICO, State Farm, some of your money is likely being used to fund, insure or invest in climate destruction.
Learn how to find regional and local community banks, credit unions and credit cards and local, small insurance companies to fund local ventures — not fossil fuel projects.
Divesting from institutions that fund fossil fuels and investing in local communities and renewable clean energy instead is one of the most powerful climate actions we can take. All are welcome!
Program: CCL has crafted this virtual conference with top notch speakers — including Van Jones, CNN commentator, social entrepreneur and renowned author — and dynamic sessions to help us learn how to advocate for national climate policy.

On September 17th, 2023, thousands of us marched through the streets to call for an End to Fossil Fuels. Please join us online on October 12th at 5pm MT to celebrate the success of the march, and talk about how to stay engaged in the multi-faith campaign to stop fossil fuels.
In the US, GreenFaith is working to stop fossil fuel projects, and stop their funding, while simultaneously calling for a just transition and for polluters to pay for the impacts that are being borne by people impacted across the world.
We hope you’ll join us to learn more about our international, inter-generational, multi-faith grassroots community, and how you can plug into the work moving forward!
