Tell PNC CEO James Rohr to stop financing mountaintop removal.

Wall Street doesn’t like King Coal anymore. In the last two years, the biggest banks in America have adopted policies to phase out financing of mountaintop removal (MTR) coal.

Unfortunately, PNC didn’t get the memo.

Send PNC CEO James Rohr an email and tell him to stop financing MTR now.

Since 2008, PNC has provided over $130 million to six of the eight largest MTR coal mining companies, including the worst of the worst- Massey Energy. PNC Bank is now the largest financier of mountaintop removal in the US.

While boasting to be the “greenest bank in the business,” PNC continues to bankroll the wholesale destruction of the Appalachian Mountains. Too bad the “greenest bank” is focused solely on greenbacks.

Tell PNC’s CEO to put his money where his mouth is and protect America’s mountains from MTR.

PNC has not made a single attempt to stop financing mountaintop removal. But we want to change that.

RAN and our allies have convinced much larger banks like Chase and Wells Fargo to move away from backing mountaintop removal mining. PNC is next.

We’re not stopping until there isn’t a bank left in the biz willing to finance the flattening of Appalachia and the poisoning of her people.

Thank you for taking action to save America’s mountains!

Time is running out! Become a member before midnight tonight to help us reach our goal.

You are the difference between victory and defeat. Everything we do here at RAN depends on the support of our members – people like you – and with so much at stake right now, we need your help more than ever.

That’s why we’ve set a goal of 250 new members by midnight tonight – and the deadline is just hours away. We need just 8 people from your city to reach that goal, but time is running out. Will you be one of them?

To RAN, victory is convincing six major banks to limit their funding of mountaintop removal mining in Appalachia. It’s General Mills stepping forward with a commitment to stop buying unsustainable palm oil that contributes to rainforest destruction. It’s RAN activists, local communities, and you coming together to protect vulnerable rainforests and ecosystems.

None of it, not a single step forward, happens without the support of our members.
Please, click here to make your membership gift.

And defeat? Well, we all know what that looks like. It’s slash and burn logging in Sumatra. It’s polluted waterways and sick communities in Appalachia. It’s an end to a way of life for native villages in rainforests around the world, the loss of irreplaceable ecosystems and biodiversity, and unstoppable climate change.

Without our members, RAN can’t fight back. We need your voice, your activism – and, to be perfectly honest, we need your donations. Members of RAN get campaigners to the troubled frontlines of deforestation, and into corporate boardrooms to turn long-time offenders into responsible rainforest stewards.

That’s the difference you’ll make as a member, the difference between victory and defeat. And the easiest part about it? Being a member costs less than a dime a day. Join us today – we need you.

If you’re already a member of RAN, I just want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH. We couldn’t do it without you. Truly.
