John, the forecast is for sunny skies with temperatures in the low to mid-thirties for this Friday, so come out and join us.
Stand for a Livable Climate
Friday February 21, 2020
12:00 - 1:00 pm
Chase & Wells Fargo
Wisconsin Ave. at Water St. ([link removed])
We believe there can be a future for the next generations!
Chase & Wells Fargo are the 1st & 2nd LARGEST funders of Fossil Fuel (coal-mining operations (like the above image), oil and gas companies, fracking firms, pipelines, and arctic exploration) companies in the WORLD!
In 2020 climate activists around the world are focusing their efforts on big banks to slow the money pipeline that flows to fossil fuel companies. Will you help do something for the future?
You can't join us on Fridays, but you do want to do something? Read Bill McKibben's article linked below, then, if you bank with Chase, Wells Fargo, BMO, BofA, Capital One, etc., make a plan to move your accounts to institutions that don't fund fossil fuels. Yeah, it's a headache, I know from experience...

For tips on moving your bank, scroll down to the Moving Your Money section at 350MKE ([link removed]) .
Please join us - rain, snow or shine. (Unless it's a serious blizzard or seriously cold!) Dress in layers for the weather. There are many pedestrians over the noon hour and we talk to lots of folks. There's a lot of positive feedback - 10x more than negative.
We have signs and banners, but feel free to bring your own

2nd Court Date
Friday, February 21
8:30am
Milwaukee City Municipal Court ([link removed])
951 N James Lovell St
On February 3, the attorney representing the people arrested on December 6 requested a court date. A new hearing date was set for Friday, February 21.
The attorney told them they need not appear for this hearing, so we are not planning to attend to support them.
On Dec. 6, 2019, The People's Climate Coalition held a rally and demonstration in downtown Milwaukee in accordance with the International Youth Climate Strikes and the Sunrise Movement National Climate Strikes. On that day eleven individuals were arrested during a peaceful sit-in protesting fossil fuel financing by Wells Fargo Bank.
The eleven people arrested are members of the People's Climate Coalition @PCC.MKE ([link removed]) (in addition to other Milwaukee climate groups). These eleven people (many of whom are students) are now subject to fines expected to be $187 per person (that totals more than $2000).
You weren't arrested, but you can contribute by donating here:
PCC.MKE - The Action Network ([link removed])
Please donate $3, $10, or more. Your help will go towards the fines and court costs of these eleven people.
Thank you,
350 Milwaukee
