To world leaders and financial institutions:

As global citizens gravely concerned about climate change we call on you to back the President of Kiribati's call for an urgent moratorium on all coal mining expansion. When you're in a hole you have to stop digging: stop new mines, end funding for the most polluting energy on the planet, and shift resources to clean energy alternatives and support for affected workers and other vulnerable populations.

Stand with Kiribati
The President of a tiny Pacific island nation being battered by rising, warming seas is now taking on the world's climate killing coal industry -- and together we can help him win.

Kiribati's President Tong knows that his country is done for if the world doesn't stop using coal fast. That's why he's taking a bold stand -- calling for an immediate end to new coal mines -- not one more!

But the coal industry is very powerful, and desperate -- he won't win unless a million of us join in to build momentum and get other heads of state, bankers, CEOs on board and snowball into a force strong enough to take on dirty coal billions.

With a global public outpouring behind the common-sense call to stop coal, we can powerfully lobby key leaders, call out blockers with hard-hitting ads, and empower grassroots fights -- sign the petition now!
