Nice to see

Tomorrow the bank will carry on as normal - lying to fund the culture of excess - but for one day the truth was told. I hope they get into flyposting too - "Citi : Funding Climate Change" is a nice thing to see. "This Culture : Funding Climate Change" would be even better.

Not just a 1-time thing - GET INVOLVED!

This action wasn't isolated - there have been dozens of similar actions recently demanding that Wall Street be accountable for their investments that are destroying our climate.

Check out this giant banner hang on a construction crane across from Bank of America's headquarters in Charlotte 2 weeks ago.

And on Nov 16th and 17th (next week!), Rainforest Action Network, Coal River Mountain Watch, Student Environmental Action Coalition and more will be holding a National Day of Action Against Coal Finance. Across the country, hundreds of people will mobilize on their local banks to demand an end to investments in dirty fossil fuels. From flyering and customer education to street theater and non-violent direct action - you can get involved in your community or campus!
