Your Signature is Needed: Tell BlackRock to defund deforestation

Picture this: debris crashes around a mother orangutan fleeing in terror. This poor animal’s habitat has become a nightmare of fire and toppling trees. The giant investment firm, BlackRock, puts MASSIVE AMOUNTS of MONEY into companies that wreak terror in some of the world’s last great rainforests. [Take immediate action!]( Jungles that once held vibrant ecosystems have turned dull and gray as BlackRock invests in greedy corporations slashing trees for profit. We’re losing rainforests fast. With each second that passes, BlackRock funnels more money to deforestation. [Save tropical rainforests from BlackRock-funded destruction by 11:59pm TONIGHT!]( [Sign the petition]( BlackRock’s investments support companies that HARASS, INTIMIDATE, CRIMINALIZE, and VIOLENTLY EXPEL INDIGENOUS from their land, turning ecosystems stewarded by local communities first into wastelands of stumps and then into vast industrial plantations of palm oil to make junk food and cosmetics. Agribusiness is the world’s leading cause of deforestation and the violent land conflicts that come with it -- and BlackRock is financing some of the worst companies out there. BlackRock wields $10 TRILLION in assets. It could use that influence for good instead of funding human rights abuses and ecosystem collapse. But BlackRock won’t stop funding deforestation without your action.
