National Day of Action vs Fossil Fuel Banks
On Wednesday, April 10, 2019, Climate First! and others will participate in a "National Day of Actions vs Fossil Fuel Banks." Climate First! will be running a nonviolent direct action against Wells Fargo bank in Washington, D.C.
Wells Fargo is currently one of leading "fossil fuel banks" as shown by its funding of climate-wrecking projects such as Keystone XL pipeline and Enbridge Line 3.
More info on the D.C. action will be posted in the near future. For general questions, contact Ted at tconwell@climatefirst.us/(301) 589-7598 (mobile).
