Milwaukee 'Pay It Forward' Campaign
Help Us Redistribute Stimulus Payments to Those in Need
We’re bringing attention to the number of people who are “paying it forward” by redistributing their stimulus funds to important causes.
As part of this effort, we are raising money to support the Milwaukee Rental Housing Resource Center. Whether you received a stimulus check or not, every donation makes a difference!
Spread the Word!
This is a grassroots campaign, driven by a shared desire for stimulus funds to reach those who need them most. Whether you can afford to donate or not, help us reach more people and expand our impact!
Tax Deductible 501(c)3 organization.

CHASE AND WELLS FARGO BANKS
Water St & Wisconsin
(Check at Wells St too)
From Pam Richard:
- Wells Fargo has the third most fossil fuel investments of all banks in the world, and is a lead financier of the tar sands industry.
- Add your voice to the growing demand to banks like Chase, Citi, Bank of America and TD Bank to STOP financing Line 3.
- Send a direct email to CEOs now to demand that they stop funding the toxic Line 3 pipeline. Your email will go directly to the inboxes of CEOs, executives, and Board members of the banks funding Line 3. https://stopthemoneypipeline.com/defund-line-3/
- Send a letter to President Joe Biden (goes to the White House directly) asking him to #StopLine3.
- You can share your own story why Biden needs to Stop Line 3 now securely and safely. https://www.stopline3.org/biden
We appreciate your support.
Together we will Stop Line 3
A Water Protector said, "This bank feeds all sorts of money into that black snake. We're going to lop the head off of it, there will be nothing left when we're done. We fight with a prayer in our hearts. A prayer isn't just words you say,  though it can be. Prayer is action. Prayer is gathering together in community like this. It's taking care of those that need help. Realizing that true wealth comes not from money but from kindness and generosity and lifting up our fellow people."
Frontline Dakota Access and Line 3 pipeline youth and organizers are heading to D.C. Our demand is clear. Joe Biden, it's time to #BuildBackFossilFree-- shutdown DAPL and Stop Line 3. For too long, Indigenous communities have been forced to bear the burden of society's addiction to fossil fuels and the devastating impacts on our land, sky, and water. It's time to honor our treaties that have been ignored and shut down DAPL and stop Line 3. #FrontlinesToDC #FrontlinesSaveLives

Stop Line 3 petition
Did you read the link (Enbridge Fort Atkinson, WI petroleum spill) above?
That's like our backyard!
That March 29. 2021 Journal/Sentinal article is titled "'I can't trust them anymore': Residents of Fort Atkinson shocked that 2019 petroleum spill by Enbridge went unreported for over a year".
Yes, that's the same Enbridge trying to build the Line 3 Tar Sands pipeline!
That's tar sands oil, arguably the most polluting oil.
If you haven't already, sign the petition today
Then scroll back up and try out more of Pam Richard's links
What is the Line 3 tar sands pipeline? - 350.org
Line 3 is a massive pipeline underway in northern Minnesota that violates Indigenous rights and it would carry pollution equivalent to 50 coal power plants.
The bulldozers have arrived to plow through sacred wild rice watersheds, over 800 wetlands, and 200+ bodies of water. Indigenous water protectors are fighting to protect their land, but the drones are overhead and the police are militarizing.
President Biden has the power to stop this project. He can review the permits granted by Trump and halt Line 3 construction immediately.
This will be the first climate test for his administration and we are making it clear that the Line 3 pipeline must be stopped.
Please sign our petition calling on Joe Biden to #StopLine3 immediately and invoke a climate test for all pipelines.

350 Milwaukee Meeting
Tuesday, April 13, 7 - 8:30pm
Zoom Meeting
Another Road to Doomsday: Planetary Biocide
2021 State of the Planet
George Stone Ph.D.
Professor Emeritus of Natural Science MATC
Dr. Stone's talk will have a "special emphasis on decreasing biodiversity and rising extinction rates, and on the increasing probabilities of pandemics."
WE HAVE repeatedly been pressing the snooze button on the issue, but covid-19 has provided perhaps the final wake-up call. “2021 must be the year to reconcile humanity with nature,” said António Guterres, the UN secretary general, in an address to the One Planet Summit of global leaders in Paris last month. “Until now, we have been destroying our planet. We have been abusing it as if we have a spare one.”
