With the movement for clean energy growing stronger every day, the last thing we need is more oil pipelines. Especially when those pipelines are filled with oil from Canada's dirty tar sands. Citigroup doesn't see it that way. Since 2008 Citi has raised more than $14 billion for the pipeline industry—more than any other bank. One of Citi's biggest clients in the sector is TransCanada—the same company now proposing the infamous KeystoneXL pipeline to connect Canada's tar sands to Gulf Coast oil refineries. Guess what though? You can change the way bankers do business, even at Citi, just by connecting one-on-one to share your concerns. Make a difference in all of our futures by picking up the phone today and calling a Citi banker. This is no email petition, we're actually putting you on the phone with the bankers who need to know about Citi's financing of fossil fuels so they can help Citi change course. The KeystoneXL pipeline would more than triple oil imports from the tar sands—effectively erasing the benefits of fuel efficiency standards designed to break our crippling addiction to oil. Citi should clearly be financing our clean energy future, not outdated carbon-intensive fossil fuels. Help us contact more than 2000 Citi employees today and enlist them in creating our clean energy future. It'll make you feel great!
