Dear Royal Bank of Canada CEO Dave McKay
Happy 35th anniversary! Traditional gift for 35 years is coral.
Due to RBC being the biggest financier of fossil fuels in the world & accelerating climate change, I can only gift you some bleached coral & 27 million acres of burnt forests.

Record-breaking temperatures are making this summer the hottest in human history.
But we *can* combat the climate crisis – by turning up the heat on governments and corporations to implement systemic change.
