350MKE Fridays for Future
Tomorrow, Friday, January 14, 2022
12:00 - 1:00 pm
 Chase Bank, among many, continues to invest heavily in fossil fuel. As attributed (falsely) to bank robber Willie Sutton, "that's where the money is." Our grandchildren, our children, and ourselves are paying (big time) for it. And will continue to pay!
A few more knowledgeable customers isn't justice for our kids, but it is one step. We know because the occasional Chase customer (and one who is maybe an employee?) stops to talk to us!
We have Chase and fossil fuel signs available
You can also bring your own signs!
If the temperature is less than 10F, or there are weather advisories, we will not demonstrate.
