Stop Barclays Funding Fossil Fuels

Sign the petition
Divest Barclays

We want Barclays to divest from the North Dakota Access Pipeline, Fracking in the UK & fossil fuel extraction across the globe.

By signing this petition I also personally pledge to not bank with Barclays until they stop funding climate chaos.

Why is this important?

If we’re serious about preventing catastrophic warming we can’t dig any new coal mines, drill any new fields or build any more pipelines. Not a single one. We can't stand by and watch as Sioux Native Americans stopping a pipeline are pepper sprayed, Tasered, attacked with dogs and arrested by police in tanks. We can't wait for the Tories to frack under our homes and National Parks.

Despite ongoing resistance from Sioux Native Americans and allies, militarized police continue to protect companies laying the North Dakota Access Pipeline.

Despite thousands of objections and sustained local and national pressure, Third Energy have just been given the green light to frack in Ryedale, North Yorkshire.

These projects are front lines of the battle to keep fossil fuels in the ground.
Barclays funds both these projects and have £15,653 million of assets in oil, gas and coal extraction globally. We can't let these projects go ahead.

  • Fossil fuels are the past, the future is renewables. Let's force the banks to play their part in preserving life on Earth.

  • We no longer need fossil fuels...the Centre for Alternative Technology Wales has been working on "Zero Carbon Britain"...now we just need to implement it!

  • Now is the time to take the action that those in control will not! Not their planet to ruin. Time to weaponize money; the one thing that banks really understand. Lets suck them dry until they finally find some eco-morals of their own.
