Demand your Council Moves Your Money to a ethical or co-op bank
A petition calling for all UK Councils to close bank accounts with major banks & Move Your Money to a cooperative or ethical bank.
There are 433 Councils in the UK. Collectively these Councils administer billions of pounds in public funds.
The UK banking sector & its unregulated activities has inflicted as much as £1.5 trillion in private debt upon the UK economy, slashing jobs & public sector services.
Despite this, many UK Councils still maintain accounts with major banks, providing public funds that support the excessive bonus culture & unethical investment practices.
The Move Your Money campaign http://moveyourmoney.org.uk/why-move-your-money challenges unethical investment by asking members of the public to close accounts with major banks & open accounts with an ethical bank or cooperative:
Sign this petition & demand all UK Councils follow suit & close their accounts with the major banks & Move Your Money to a cooperative or ethical bank.
