LAST MINUTE REMINDER: Big climate rally in front of Wells Fargo in
Arcata at 11th and G at one o’clock on Tuesday, 3.21.23
Day of Action. Then we’ll take it to Chase Bank behind the
Jacoby Storehouse.
As
most of you know, Wells Fargo and Chase are two of the dirtiest four
banks (Citi-Bank and Bank of America are the other two) that fund the
expansion of fossil fuels way into the future. Despite all the
warnings from the IPCC and evidence of our mounting climate crisis,
the money pipeline has continued pumping to fund new and completely
unnecessary oil and gas projects. It must stop.
Also,
please sign the pledge at the bottom of this page to never do
business with these four banks. They have been warned repeatedly.

Acknowledgement: “350 Humboldt would like to acknowledge that where
we live and hold our meetings in Humboldt County is on unceded
territory and the ancestral homeland of indigenous nations which
include Tolowa, Hupa, Karuk, Mattole, Wailaki, Wiyot, and Yurok.
We thank indigenous
nations who have been caretakers of the land. Additionally, we
recognize that the well-being of all people is bound up with that of
indigenous peoples, and we must all
take action on the climate.”
This month we are
supporting the people of Nuiqsut,
the Inupiaq community closest to the proposed Willow project. Nuiqsut
is already inundated with oil and gas drilling sites that have
wrecked havoc on their life and livelihood. Both the City of Nuiqsut
and the Native Village of Nuiqsit have voiced opposition to the
Willow Project.
Their letter of
opposition to the Willow Project can be found at: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/565291dee4b06ed63ea669d4/t/63d8287ab74e196371bdcf1f/1675110527125/City+of+Nuiqsut+and+NVN+letter+re+Willow.pdf
