Petitions and Letters
Tell Canada's major banks to break up with fossil fuels- Greenpeace
RBC, CIBC, BMO, TD, Scotiabank and Desjardins talk about respecting Indigenous rights and fighting climate change and, yet, they continue to finance fossil fuels. Canada's big 5 banks are among the top twenty-five global banks financing fossil fuels - RBC is the largest financier of fossil fuels in Canada (and fifth largest in the world), followed by Scotiabank, TD, BMO and CIBC. They have steadily increased their support for fossil fuels - providing over $910 BILLION to fossil fuel companies since the Paris Climate Agreement in 2015, which demanded strong action to reduce climate catastrophes.

We live on the stolen & unceded territory of many Nations who have been protectors and friends of the Salish Sea and its watersheds since time immemorial. We are humbly grateful, especially to the host nations of ḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish), Xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) and Sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) First Nations, for allowing & welcoming us to be here, and do this work in a good way on their traditional sacred lands.
We commit to honouring their leadership & being open to their teachings. We are honoured by the chances being offered to work alongside them as protectors of this sacred and beautiful land. In practice we redistribute 50% of all funds raised to Indigenous Land Defenders. We believe Land Back will begin to correct some of the wrongs of the past, and commit to supporting campaigns that lead in that direction.
We are a grassroots organization. We grow stronger when new members join us.
