  if you want to be part of the statement piece (billionaire or youth)\, em
 ail gnoyes@oakdev.com to be a part of the Red Rebel Brigade.**\n\n*The Fed
  is funding the climate crisis\, financing the extinction\, and selling ou
 r futures to corrupt investments for financial criminals. We will be stagi
 ng a small demonstration about how the Federal Reserve and big banks are d
 estroying the future and dreams of our youth.*\n\nRead more about it [here
 ](https://www.bostonglobe.com/2021/12/02/opinion/federal-reserves-powell-l
 acks-leadership-climate-change/)\, in an op-ed by Senator Markey for The G
 lobe:\n\n"Banks that significantly invest in emissions-intensive projects 
 are endangering us on two counts: first\, by continuing to fuel the climat
 e crisis already wreaking havoc on the economy\; and second\, by exposing 
 all their customers to the risks of tying up investments in the outdated f
 ossil fuel projects that will not survive in a clean-energy economy. The t
 op four financiers of fossil fuels globally are all American banks — JP 
 Morgan Chase\, Citi\, Wells Fargo\, and Bank of America — with $975 bill
 ion of financing committed to fossil fuel life-cycle projects from 2016 to
  2020. That’s nearly a trillion dollars tied up in risky projects that a
 re incompatible with the scientific targets in the Paris climate agreement
  and the pledges made by the United States and countries around the world.
 "\n\n"Climate change is a destabilizing force that impacts all facets of o
 ur lives. It disrupts weather patterns\, food systems\, national security\
 , and public health. Through heat waves\, wildfires\, storms\, rising seas
 \, and other disasters\, it heightens our exposure to many kinds of threat
 s — both physical and fiscal. We need a whole-of-government response to 
 defend against this upheaval on every front. Our banking authority\, the F
 ederal Reserve\, must take an active role in protecting the banking system
 \, and all those who depend upon it\, from financial risks fueled by clima
 te change."\n\nMeet at 1:00 in front of 600 Atlantic Ave\, Boston\, MA 022
 10\, across the street from South Station. \n\nLove and rage!
