Did you know that your retirement savings could be funding the very companies driving climate disasters?

While you and I work hard to build a secure future and plan for retirement, many pensions and retirement funds are fueling the climate crisis – investing in fossil fuel corporations that drive wildfires, floods, and extreme weather.

But here’s the deal: these funds belong to us – the workers.

Yet, they’re being used to prop up risky fossil fuel projects, putting our planet and our financial future at risk. Coal, oil, and gas are risky, underperforming, and out of step with a world shifting toward renewable energy.

Our pensions and retirement funds hold trillions of dollars – enough to drive powerful investment in our communities. Imagine the world we could build if our retirement funds fueled a livable future – not climate destruction.

While Trump’s regressive administration sides with polluters, it’s more urgent than ever to ensure our retirement funds are invested in protecting both our future and our planet.

That’s why we are is launching a bold campaign – to safeguard private retirement funds and push for investments in a climate-safe future we all deserve.

Join thousands of workers showing retirement funds that workers deserve sustainability.

Workers deserve control over our wages and retirements. We should have the power to choose investments that build a fair, secure, and sustainable future – where our hard-earned savings create a better world for us and future generations, not fuel the industries that destroy our planet while lining the pockets of wealthy executives.

Protecting private retirement funds isn’t going to be easy. That’s why we’re building a mass movement to center workers and a climate-safe future and we’re going to need all hands on deck.

Join thousands of people championing climate-safe retirement funds.

We’re uniting to secure a future where our hard-earned retirement savings work for people and our planet – not fossil fuels.

By mobilizing financial institutions to prioritize climate-safe investment, we can pave the way for large-scale, transformative change towards a climate safe future.

A future that puts people and the planet first.
