Citi has co-branded credit cards with Costco, LL Bean, Macy’s, Home Depot, Best Buy, Sears, and AT&T. Since 2015, Citibank has been the world’s largest funder of fossil fuel expansion, destroying and polluting our planet and our communities.
Indigenous leaders traveled all the way from the Peruvian Amazon to meet with Citi’s leadership in the U.S. to demand that it stop financing Petroperú, but the bank is still funding the company’s destructive activities.
That’s why we’re calling on the large companies that have co-branded credit cards to drop dirty Citi and find a better partner.

Subject: Stop supporting the climate crisis. Drop Citibank!
I’m contacting you because your company shares a co-branded credit card with Citibank, and we are calling on you to break up with Citibank due to its role in fueling the climate crisis and driving environmental racism.
Citibank is the #1 funder of fossil fuel expansion since 2015. That’s why, since June 10, thousands of people have been regularly protesting at Citi’s global headquarters in New York City, as part of the Summer of Heat on Wall Street campaign. 432 people have been arrested to demand a just transition and an end to financing fossil fuel expansion.
Your company needs to reconsider your public partnership with Citi. Citi’s brand has become toxic – with families, grandparents, scientists, and young people now calling out Citi’s problematic fossil fuel financing and furthering of environmental racism.
All around the world, people are feeling the effects of fossil fuel and human-driven climate change: Extreme weather like deadly heat waves, worsening fires, droughts, floods, and hurricanes. Please listen to the science: Citi must stop financing fossil fuel expansion.
Thousands of us call on your company to break up with Citi and find a better, cleaner, more humane credit card partner.
If you don’t, we will take our business elsewhere to companies that actually care about climate change.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
