Momentum launch a nationwide campaign to pressure Barclays bank into dropping its investments in the fossil fuel industry.
Working in collaboration with the campaign group People & Planet, Momentum’s ‘Bankrupt Climate Change’ campaign encouraged Momentum members to stage creative direct actions at Barclays branches in towns and cities across the UK.
The campaign followed Labour’s push for a ‘Green Industrial Revolution’ in Britain to address climate change and create hundreds of thousands of green jobs, as well as the increasing popularity of the ‘Green New Deal’ spearheaded by Alexadria Ocasio-Cortez in the US.
