Hi John -
I'm writing this message from camp after a huge day of powerful actions in
Jackson Hole yesterday. Before I head out for another day of events, I
wanted to share with you some photos and highlights from the actions so
far.
But first, I wanted to say thank you! None of this
work would be possible without the entire climate movement having our
back. We feel your support here on the ground.
As you probably know by now, we’re here at the Federal Reserve’s largest
annual gathering — the Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium — to call on
the Fed to cut off the flow of funds to fossil fuels and take the climate
risks to our economy seriously.
So we started the day by welcoming the attendees of the Symposium at the
airport so they would see us as soon as they headed to their hotel:

Then in the afternoon, we held a peaceful protest and press conference at
the Jackson Hole Lodge with incredible speakers including:
* Tee McClenty, Director, 350 Minnesota
* Lynette Grey Bull, Director & Founder, Not Our Native Daughters
* Anna Kerr, Sunrise Jackson Hole
* Giselle Herzfeld, 350 Colorado, Defunding Climate Disaster
Coordinator)
* And myself (Emily Park, Federal Reserve Campaign Manager, 350.org)

During the day, we also had a bike brigade protest:

national pressure on the Fed as possible. Can you take a moment to share
these highlights via social media or email to help spread the word?

Today and tomorrow we’ll be hosting more peaceful demonstrations with art
and music, so stay tuned!
Thank you again for all your support. Together, I know we can win and
usher in a new era at the Fed – one that puts an end to fossil fuel
finance.
In solidarity,
Emily Park
Federal Reserve Campaign Manager
