The call to financial institutions to stop funding fossil fuel grows louder. Blackrock is a huge ‘money manager,’ and it’s boss- Larry Fink- is calling on corporations to be aware of the risk to their bottom line from climate change. We discuss.

The reading list:

• The Letter from Larry
• The NYT analyzes the letter
• "The Daily" podcast discusses the impact of the Blackrock letter.
• McKibben's New Yorker piece on the connection of finance to climate
• The Climate Minute on Fink's letter in January
• Stop the Money Pipeline
• The stock market performance of fossil fuels
• Ensia discusses how to tell if a corporation is serious about climate
• Attend MCAN's Local Environmental Action conference, March 7 at Northeastern

Because we recognize the necessity of personal accountability for our actions, because we accept responsibility for a building a durable future and because we believe it is our patriotic duty as citizens to speak out, we must insist the United States transform it’s energy sector, over the next decade, under a just and equitable plan, that uses regulations, investments and a price on carbon to safeguard our collective future.

Thanks for listening.
