Let's Show Up at the Bank Protest Rally

Banks: Stop Funding Fossil Fuels

Third Act Maine Rally in Portland’s Monument Square 

Tuesday, March 21, 2023

3:00 - 4:00 pm

We need your voice to send a message to big banks to stop funding fossil fuels!

Bring your family & friends! 

Let’s make some noise in Portland! Around the country, there will be over 95 other actions. It’s a BIG DAY OF ACTION!  We’re getting ready!

Some of the banks say they are trying to make shifts, making their increased funding of fossil fuel projects all the more maddening. For example, Chase increased its investments in fossil fuels from 2020 to 2021 by 10 billion dollars --from 51 billion dollars to 61 billion dollars. (Banking on Climate Chaos, 2022)

Many of us are planning to leave the big banks in favor of credit unions or greener banks. Get more info prepared by Third Act Maine on Climate Friendly Banks and Credit Cards.) If you’re ready, you can cut up your bank or credit card on Tuesday!

We know you care. You’re “Concerned” and “Alarmed” about climate change. (Here’s how the general population shakes out, according to polls from the Yale Program on Climate Change and Communication. 2021)

P.S. Tell us you’re coming by RSVP-ing here. (You don’t have to, but it helps us.)
