Stand for a Livable Climate
Friday April 17, 2020
12:00 pm

Our demonstrations are on hold as the world navigates the coronavirus pandemic

 

Read the following article by Bill McKibben,
then
if you bank at Chase, Wells Fargo, BMO, etc. - change that fact!

We are now experiencing a taste of what the world could be like under climate collapse - but there would be no hope for a vaccine.  The world needs to get in front of climate change now!

Big Oil is using the coronavirus pandemic to push through the Keystone XL pipeline - Bill McKibben, The Guardian, April 5, 2020

While you're sequestered at home, how about moving your bank accounts or credit cards out of Chase, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, BMO. Capital One, etc.  Read the article Study: global banks 'failing miserably' on climate crisis by funneling trillions into fossil fuels. The report referenced in the article is Banking On Climate Change.

Want to Do Something About Climate Change? Follow the Money 
- Bill McKibben, New Yorker


If you bank, or have credit cards, with any of these banks, please for the sake of your children (and yourself), find a new bank or credit union.  See the Moving Your Money section at 350MKE.

Would you chip in a few dollars at the Action Network to help defray the personal cost to the eleven people arrested? 

Next Court Date???
Milwaukee Municipal Court is closed through April
Milwaukee City Municipal Court
951 N James Lovell St.

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 (in addition to other Milwaukee climate groups).  These eleven people (many of whom are students) will have total fines between about $1300 and $1700 depending on the eventual fines for the men.

You weren't arrested, but you can contribute by donating to help with their fines at PCC.MKE at the Action Network

Please donate $5, $10, or more.  Your help will go towards the fines of these eleven people.


Thank you,
350 Milwaukee
