On September 11, 2025, Climate First! working on the  and beyond, join Climate First! as we continue our demand that Wells Fargo--"Be a Better Bank!" For "DETAILS" and/or to RSVP, go below.  

This campaign vs. Wells Fargo was recently created for numerous reasons. 

First, Wells Fargo is the only major U.S. bank to have dropped its commitment to net-zero climate emissions by 2050, across its financed portfolio. And since it is critical that the other major US banks--which are mostly the leading banks in the world as far as investing in fossil fuels--keep abiding by their climate emissions targets, we must publicly make Wells Fargo pay for its climate-wrecking decision. 

Wells Fargo's disgusting behavior doesn't end there as the bank has also: 1) strongly opposed any unionization of its employees; 2) promoted a plan to privatize the USPS, and sell it off in parts; 3) dropped its pledge to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), despite the lender's long history of racist lending practices; 4) funded, in a big way, companies such as Palantir that partner with ICE to deport immigrants; and 5) funded, in a major way, companies like Elbit Systems, a major provider of weapons and technologies to the Israeli military, that has led to mass atrocities in Palestine.

If you can, please sign this petition which summarizes Wells Fargo's terrible decisions vis-a-vis the climate, unionization, DEI, and the other critical issues above.

DETAILS:
What: With the help of the Wells Fargo Workers United (WFWU) union, we will deliver information to workers in an effort to convince various Wells Fargo branches in the Washington, DC region to consider joining the union. We merely intend to spend some time with a bank worker (not management) at each office in an attempt to spark a unionization drive. Others around the country have been involved in this project for a month or so.     
When: Two activists with Climate First! have chosen 3-4 Wells Fargo branches for leaflet delivery beginning about mid-morning on Thursday, September 11, 2025.  
Where: We will visit Wells Fargo branches in the Silver Spring, MD area, as well as some in nearby Washington, DC.   
Misc: If you have questions or concerns, please contact Ted at [email protected] .  

Thank you for your interest in helping to save the climate, as well as addressing the other issues mentioned above.
