Money in the Bank (March 2023)
So, big banks are funding our short-term financial prosperity by supporting fossil fuel waste without paying to clean it up. What’s a responsible and caring working person–or retiree– to do?
–Would it help to move retirement accounts from banks to other major financial institutions? Sorry, no–the largest financial asset management firms–Vanguard, BlackRock, State Street, and Goldman Sachs–are no better than the banks.
–Maybe move our money into insurance company annuities? Nope. The industry, led by AIG, Travelers, Chubb, and Liberty Mutual, uses our assets to underwrite more fossil fuel exploration, extraction, infrastructure, and marketing, ensuring our continued financial commitment to fossil fuels.

Among all the material issues facing voters this fall, we think climate change is fundamental.
This month our Education Focus Group reports on research of the November 2022 candidates regarding the issue of climate change. We hope you, the voter, will find the information helpful. -

We know that to combat the climate crisis we have to quickly decarbonize our economy. But we must also draw down significant amounts of carbon pollution already in the atmosphere.
