Fossil Fuels Desecrate Our Earth: Prayerful Action at BlackRock

  • St. Peter’s Church 619 Lexington Avenue New York, NY, 10022 United States (map)

The extraction and burning of fossil fuels is destroying our sacred and beautiful planet. As the world's largest asset manager, BlackRock is pouring vast amounts of money into the oil, gas, and coal industries.

Join XR NYC Mindful Rebels affinity group and GreenFaith for a prayerful, powerful multifaith gathering as we urge BlackRock to divest from fossil fuels and invest in renewable energy and adopt policies that prioritize the rights of indigenous communities around the world.

Our demands:

  1. Exclude fossil fuels from active funds.

  2. Make more investments in clean energy – and make climate-safe funds the default for active funds.

  3. Adopt a policy for and by Indigenous peoples.

Business as usual can not go on any longer. The finance industry must stop investing in climate destruction.
