*The Federal Reserve Chair, Chairman Powell, announced that the Federal
Reserve System will “stick to its knitting” and not be a “climate
policymaker*.” Yet the Board of the US Federal Reserve System — the referee
of the US economy — is supposed to protect the U.S. economy from financial
risk, including climate change. *The Fed has asked for public input on
their recommendations for protecting our economy from the climate crisis*,
and we need to make sure they hear our demands loud and clear.

*Why we are 350:* Scientists overwhelmingly agree that *350ppm CO2* is the
upper limit to sustain life as humans have known it. For 800,000+
years *atmospheric
CO2 varied between roughly 180 to 280ppm*

Global temperatures also rose and declined (ice ages) with the change
in CO2 levels over that period. *Now we're in the 420ppm range and headed
straight up.* - Latest Values

>From 350,
*Fax the Fed: Act on the climate crisis NOW!*
The Federal Reserve Chair, Chairman Powell, announced that the Federal
Reserve System will “stick to its knitting” and not be a “climate
policymaker.” Yet the Board of the US Federal Reserve System — the referee
of the US economy — is supposed to protect the U.S. economy from financial
risk, including climate change.
The Fed has asked for public input on their recommendations for protecting
our economy from the climate crisis, and we need to make sure they hear our
demands loud and clear.
We want to thank everyone who has already emailed the Fed with their
comments on this! We’re now calling on you to flood them with faxes to *demand
that they take immediate steps to promote investment in the transition to a
clean, just, renewable economy.*
*That’s where faxes (and you) come in.*
*Faxes are even more disruptive and more difficult to avoid than emails. By
flooding the Fed with faxes, they’ll see just how loud and powerful our
movement against fossil fuels is.*
*You don’t even need a fax machine. Our easy, one-click tool is all you
need to fax the Fed. Take action now →

>From 350,
*Sign the Offshore Drilling Petition*
*Right now, the Biden Administration is finalizing its five-year offshore
drilling plan. This plan determines how often the government will sell new
rights to drill in federal waters to oil and gas companies.*
*The latest draft shows that the Administration is undecided. The plan
could allow anywhere from zero to 11 lease sales and it’s our job to ensure
the final number is zero.1 This plan could be unveiled any day, so our
window to act is now.*
*If enough of us speak out against offshore drilling today, we can build
the pressure we need to make sure President Biden keeps fossil fuels in the
ground.*
*Will you add your name to our petition demanding President Biden ban
offshore drilling? We need to show there is overwhelming public support for
this, so we’re aiming to get 5,000 new signatures today.

>From Ruby Burgess, 350WI Divest and Defund team,
*Do you bank with Chase, Wells Fargo, Bank of America or Citibank?*
*Virtual training on Monday, January 30th, 7pm*
I do – I bank with Chase and have done so for 4 years. And I recently
learned that these four banks are the world’s largest funders of fossil
fuels.
As someone extremely concerned about climate change, I was alarmed to learn
that my bank contributes so much to the horrendous climate impacts of
fossil fuels that we’re seeing around the world.
That’s why I’m working with *350 Wisconsin to host a local virtual training
on January 30th at 7pm to teach bank customers how to advocate for climate
justice.*
Will you join me and a group of bank customers in Madison and beyond in
taking action? The first step is to attend a training session aimed at
supporting folks in meeting with branch managers at their local bank branch.
You’ll not be doing this alone. At this training, you’ll meet a community
of other customers who are interested in taking action. You’ll get all the
skills you need to take action. You’ll also hear from me and other
customers about their own experience meeting with their branch managers.
You can register here to get the Zoom link to the training:

We need bank employees on our side to win. Right now, banks are facing a
serious staffing crisis. Banks are competing with each other to retain
staff. They are doing all they can to be an appealing place to work. You
know what makes banks not an appealing place to work? That they are the
world’s largest funders of fossil fuels and deforestation the leading cause
of the climate crisis.
Our banks claim to put their customers’ concerns as their top priority. As
customers, we can demand that our banks take action to stop funding climate
chaos and make climate action a priority.
