350 Wenatchee Climate Conversations NCW

Rainforest Action Network is planning to train people around the country to be able to bird dog Jamie Dimon and Chase executives all around the country. For an example of a good bird dog, check out this video. If you’re interested in receiving this training, please email Ruth: ruth@ran.org

As you hopefully saw from Abby’s last email, Climate Action Rhode Island is launching #TheCutTheChaseChallenge on Nov 22nd! Please see Abby’s last email, or contact Abby for more details or with questions! Abby is at: abigail.huber@gmail.com

Growing The Campaign!

One thing we didn’t talk about on the call. Following 350.org‘s post 9/20 call, we have the information of about 200 people who said they would like to get more involved in the campaign. We would LOVE help following up with these folks. This would involve having phone calls with people to fill them in on the campaign, the work and — possibly, depending on how that call goes — inviting them into join this campaign team. If you are able to help grow the campaign by helping with this outreach, please send me an email.

And… Chase’s climate crimes in the media!

The role of the financial sector is appearing more and more often in the media these days. Here are four articles from the last week or so that mention Chase & its role in the climate crisis:

• Divestment Works – and One Huge Bank Can Lead the Wat, The Guardian
• Top Investment Banks Spend Billions on Fossil Fuel Industry, The Guardian
• Banks Warned Over Saudi Armaco by environmental groups, The Guardian
• The Darkest Side of Fossil Fuel Extraction, Scientific American
• Why Big Banks are Accused of Funding the Climate Crisis, Huffington Post

And, just for a laugh, here’s an article in Bloomberg in which JPMorgan Chase economists are warning about the possibility of… severe economic consequences from the climate crisis.

And finally… our next call!
