This is directly related to our July 350MKE meeting ([link removed]) !

It will be an important way to have the fossil fuel industry to help clean up brown areas, do research on alternative energy sources, provide economic justice as this creates new jobs and helps us reduce our carbon footprint.

Chase & Wells Fargo Banks
Many banks (including Chase and Wells Fargo) are lending their depositor's money to fossil fuel companies to develop new fossil fuel production.
We want more people to be aware of this and hopefully change their bank or talk to the bank management!
We get honks and thumbs up from drivers and passersby. Some people stop and have a chat about what the banks are doing, or ask, "What is fossil fuel ([link removed]) ?"
We're alternating between two Chase Bank locations.
Chase Bank Calendar:
* Friday July 21 - Silver Spring Dr. & Lydell Ave. ([link removed])
* Friday July 28 - Wisconsin Ave. & Water St. ([link removed])
