Join with Climate First! and other groups around the U.S. in a campaign where we ask Costco to pressure Citibank--its credit card provider--to start slashing its massive investments in fossil fuels. For "Details", go below.   

Costco, the third largest retailer in the country, is beloved by many of its members. However, it has a credit card relationship with Citi, the second largest funder (of all the banks in the world) of climate-wrecking fossil fuels over the last four years. To help address the climate crisis, Costco should use its leverage with Citi (the lender has a very profitable credit card relationship with the retailer) to try to get the bank to end its financing of fossil fuel projects––or else Costco should switch to a cleaner credit card.

      Over the next few months, help us spread the word as we canvass outside various Costco warehouses in the Washington, D.C. area, essentially asking the retailer's members and customers to sign a petition which urges the company's management to convince Citibank to do right by the climate. 

Details
What: As part of the "Costco--Cleanup Your Credit Card" campaign, we engage with Costco members/customers outside their Costco stores, and share with them information, including a petition that calls on the retailer to request that its credit card provider--Citibank--end its funding of fossil fuel projects.
