Why we are 350: Scientists overwhelmingly agree that 350ppm CO2 is the upper limit to sustain life as humans have lived it. For 800,000+ years atmospheric CO2 varied between roughly 180 to 280ppm(graphic).

​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 confront their bank!

How? Mention it to the teller.
Or, talk to the bank manager.
Or, move your account(s) to a climate responsible bank.
Or, contact the bank's CEO.

Julie filled out the "$300 reward card" card from Chase saying she wouldn't open an account there because of Chase's investment in fossil fuels. Then went to the bank, presented it to the teller, and explained it. Cool!
 
We're alternating among three Chase Bank locations in different areas of Milwaukee

Wisconsin State Supreme Court coverage

If you've read this far, we're likely preaching to the choir.  However, we're asking you to help get out the vote among your family, friends and neighbors. So here's more background we hope you will use.

WI Senate District 8 could give Republicans a senate supermajority

Rep. Dan Knodl wins Republican primary for crucial 8th Senate District seat - JSOnline
"The races comes at a time when the Senate GOP caucus is seeking to hold onto a supermajority, which gives Senate Republicans the power to remove impeached state officers — including the governor, attorney general, and other officials. At the same time, Democrats are making more headway in the traditionally conservative suburbs surrounding Milwaukee."
