Stand for a Livable Climate
Friday January 24, 2020
12:00 - 1:00 pm
Chase & Wells Fargo
Wisconsin Ave. at Water St.
We believe there can be a future for the next generations!
Chase ($63.9 Billion 2018) & Wells Fargo ($61.4 Billion 2018) are the 1st & 2nd LARGEST funders of Fossil Fuel (Arctic exploration, drilling, pipelines, fracking, mountain top removal coal, and more) companies in the WORLD!
They should compete to be the #1 funder of Renewable Energy!
We've had 12 to 15 people each week. Please join us - rain, snow or shine. (Unless it's a serious blizzard or below zero!) Just dress in layers for the weather. There are lots of pedestrians over the noon hour and we pass out lots of flyers and talk to lots of folks.
We have signs and banners, but feel free to bring your own

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.
A court date has been set for February 3, 8:30 am. We plan to be there to support them. We are also setting up a crowd sourced fund to cover their court costs. Watch this space for further details as they become available.
