US (STOP THE MONEY PIPELINE) : Tell COSTCO and LL BEAN to breakup with toxic fossil banks! 💔

Some of America’s biggest banks are still pouring tens of billions of dollars into fossil fuel expansion - and they’re doing it while claiming to support climate action.

Tell companies like Costco, L.L.Bean, REI, Alaska Airlines, and Susan G. Komen Foundation: Get a better, greener credit card partner.

Out of the 20 largest credit card issuers in the U.S., 12 major banks are funneling billions into the fossil fuel industry – including JPMorgan Chase, Citibank, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Barclays, TD Bank, Truist Financial, PNC Financial Services, U.S. Bancorp, Fifth Third Bank, Capital One, and UMB Bank.

And one of their most profitable businesses? Co-branded credit cards - and they care deeply about those partnerships.

For example, Costco has 13 million credit cards issued by Citibank. That’s roughly 15.8% of Citibank’s entire credit card portfolio. That gives companies like Costco real leverage.

If major retailers, like Costco, demand climate-aligned banking partners–or take their business elsewhere–banks will feel it. But the only way that these retailers will take action is if you and your community members put pressure on these companies to change.

Take action with us today: Email Costco, L.L.Bean, and other partners of these toxic fossil banks. Tell them to align their credit card partnerships with their values.

And now we know, there are better credit card options for large companies (read the report here).

Out of the 20 largest credit card issuers in the United States, eight credit card companies have not provided any large-scale fossil fuel lending or underwriting. It’s simple: companies who care about the climate and protecting frontline communities should not be partnering with banks that are funding community and climate destruction.

Tell retailers like Costco, L.L.Bean, and more that it’s time to clean up their act: Your credit card shouldn’t fund pollution and climate chaos.

Together, let’s fight for a clean and livable future and an end to fossil fuel expansion.

In Solidarity,

- Sarah, Stop the Money Pipeline

US (AMERICANS FOR FINANCIAL REFORM) : Uncovering TRUMP’s CRYPTO CORRUPTION in a VIRTUAL TOWN HALL.

Virtual Town Hall:
Uncovering Trump’s Crypto Corruption

March 5, 2026
7:30pm EST / 6:30pm CST / 4:30pm PST

RSVP

Dear friend,

Join us for a virtual town hall to learn about the pipeline of crypto corruption, President Trump’s crypto conflicts of interest, how crypto industry backed legislation could expose us all to crypto’s dangerous risks, and how we can fight back.

Trump’s crypto corruption has been unprecedented. From the Oval Office, the President and his family have promoted scammy memecoins used to fleece investors and auction off White House access. They have made billion dollar deals with crypto CEOs convicted of financial crimes, and now regulators he appointed are poised to give his family firm - World Liberty Financial - a federal bank charter. Big crypto has donated millions to Trump-affiliated SuperPACs, the President’s Inaugural Fund, the Trump military parade, and the White House ballroom fund. This crypto largesse appears to have led to lawsuits being dropped, pardons granted, enormous favors for foreign investors despite national security risks, and kid-glove treatment from Trump’s financial regulators.

Attendees will have the chance to hear from experts on crypto and on corruption about the dangers all of this creates for our financial security and our democracy, and what we can do to fight back!

Gaza (RESILIENCE GAZA) : TEMOIGNAGES et SOUTIENS EN FRANCE.

Dans le cadre de la campagne Spécial Ramadan de Résilience Gaza, deux distributions ont déjà été faites. Si à la veille du Ramadan, Résilience a pu distribuer pour 5000 € de paniers, la semaine dernière, nous n'avons pu envoyer que 2500 €, soit l'équivalent d'une semaine classique. Pour continuer les distributions spéciales ramadan, nous avons besoin de vous.

JE FAIS UN DON

POURQUOI UNE TELLE SOMME ?

LES PRIX : On compte une augmentation moyenne d'environ 100%. Certains produits, comme les œufs, ont augmenté de 170% et les légumes jusqu'à 300%
LE BLOCUS : Les camions sont toujours en majorité bloqués à la frontière. Il en passe entre 200 et 250 par jour alors qu'il en faudrait au moins 1000/jour pour répondre au minimum nécessaire.
LE MANQUE D'ARGENT : Les familles réfugiées ont tout perdu, l'argent et les sources de revenues sont très rares. Sans l'aide de circuit comme Résilience Gaza, elles n'ont pas de quoi se nourrir.

LES IMAGES DES DISTRIBUTIONS DE CES DERNIÈRES SEMAINES :

Si pour la sécurité des personnes sur place, nous ne montrons pas de visages ni de lieu précis, l'équipe bénévole s'efforce toutes les semaines, de témoigner des distributions effectuées. Vous pouvez les retrouver sur notre page Instagram :
