This fall, the Taylor Swift Eras Tour is coming to Toronto and Vancouver, but these concerts are being held in partnership with the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), Canada’s largest funder of fossil fuels. RBC is a toxic partner, and Taylor deserves better. Taylor Swift’s fans (like you!) knew that RBC was trouble when they walked in. You can have a powerful impact by coming together to encourage Taylor to dump this dirty bank!
