Petition from Stop the Money Pipeline

The Rio Grande Valley LNG is a massive, proposed LNG export terminal in Brownsville, Texas. If built, it would violate Indigenous rights, exacerbate environmental racism, destroy healthy wetlands, and add millions of tons of greenhouse gas to the atmosphere.

It’s such a bad idea that banks are starting to refuse to finance the project. The French bank, Société Générale, recently stepped back as the project’s main financial advisor. They are the eighth bank to publicly commit to not financing the project.

Unfortunately, the Japanese bank, MUFG, has stepped in and is now acting as the Rio Grande Valley’s primary financier.

Sign the petition to MUFG: they must walk away from the toxic Rio Grande Valley LNG export terminal. ([link removed])

Rio Grande LNG is vehemently opposed by the Carrizo Comecrudo Tribe.

The proposed site for the export terminal is the Garcia Pasture, an ancestral burial site of the tribe that is listed as a historic site by the U.S. National Parks Service, and recognized by the World Monuments Fund as an endangered and irreplaceable site of cultural significance.

Not only that, but the construction of the terminal would destroy critical habitat for multiple endangered species, including the endangered ocelot, northern aplomado falcon, the Rice’s Whale, and Kemp’s Ridley sea turtle.

As the primary financial advisor for the company behind the project, MUFG is critically placed to decide whether or not this toxic project will move forward.

Sign the petition to MUFG and make it loud and clear: they must not finance the Rio Grande Valley LNG project. ([link removed])

This week, we witnessed the two hottest days ever recorded. We need to make it clear to banks like MUFG that they cannot simply carry on financing new oil and gas projects, especially when those projects violate Indigenous rights and exacerbate environmental racism.

We’re working with our partners at Rainforest Action Network on this petition, and the signatures will be delivered directly to MUFG leadership by July 15th ― add your name to the petition so that MUFG leadership understands that this project is toxic. ([link removed])

In Solidarity,
- the Stop the Money Pipeline team

​Chase & Wells Fargo Banks
Many banks (including Chase and Wells Fargo) are lending their depositor's money to fossil fuel companies to develop new fossil fuel production.

We want more people to be aware of this and hopefully change their bank or talk to the bank management!

We get honks and thumbs up from drivers and passersby. Some people stop and have a chat about what the banks are doing, or ask, "What is fossil fuel ([link removed]) ?"

We're alternating between two Chase Bank locations.
