Take Action on Behalf of Creation: Tell Costco to Clean Up Its Credit Card!
Did you know? Costco’s credit cards are issued by Citi – one of the dirtiest banks on the planet. Citi pumps billions into building new oil, gas, and coal projects that are sure to worsen our climate emergency.
What Costco must do. More than 30% of Americans are Costco shoppers. Costco’s motto is “do the right thing”, and it has already made several climate commitments. Costco can strengthen its popular brand by dropping its toxic partnership with Citi. Costco, as a huge client of Citi, can tell Citi to stop funding fossil fuels, or Costco will drop the bank as its credit card issuer. Costco should not let Citi undermine its own climate actions or harm Costco members, workers, or communities who are being devastated by climate impacts.
What you can do. The First Church Climate Justice Group urges you to sign this petition to tell Costco that it needs to drop Citi as its credit card issuer if Citi doesn’t clean up its act. Please also share the petition with your friends and family!
Let’s urge Costco to do the right thing!
