Friday live demonstration and rally
350 Humboldt likes to bring people together, and this coming week — the week of Earth Day — we’ve got some big climate events for you to join!
Our first in-person event in more than a year comes up on Friday, April 23. At a safe social distance and masked, we’ll meet at 4:30 PM on the sidewalk in front of Chase Bank in Eureka (337 F St).
Chase is the largest funder of climate change in the world, lending more than $51 billion dollars to fossil fuel projects in 2020 alone. Our rally will make the point to Chase customers and the public that banking with Chase is banking on disaster.
We hope you’ll join us, but to be sure we follow county guidelines on public events Please Register Here:

The rally is limited to 50 people, and when you register you’ll receive further details including advice on sign-making. Then the rally will move three blocks to the County Courthouse where we’ll continue to raise the spirit of Earth Day.
