With music, climate carols, chalking, signs & symbols our next action in Wenatchee will be at Chase Bank on the corners of Orondo & Mission – Friday, Dec. 14th 11:30-1P. Join the fun for as little or as long as you want. It’s a wonderful thing to stand for the earth right here in our town and this is a great way to do it!
From Alec Connon of 350Seattle:
What will it take for JPMorgan Chase to stop funding TransCanada? For years, TransCanada has fought tooth-and-nail to build the Keystone XL pipeline, against the wishes of courts, tribes, climate scientists, and local farmers. Now they’re also trying to force a huge new LNG pipeline through the unceded territory of the Unis’to’ten — without consent or permission.
JPMorgan Chase is the largest funder of TransCanada in the United States. Later this month, the bank will almost certainly renew a massive $1.5 billion loan to that planet-wrecking, human rights-abusing corporation ― money that TransCanada needs to build its new pipelines.
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: funding climate disaster will not be tolerated. To make sure they get this message, we’ll be hosting a major action at Chase…very soon.
