You’ve Been Inspected

Written by Japhet

JP Morgan, you’re being inspected.

Hundreds of activists converged on JP Morgan branch offices nationwide today and we’ve got pics! Check out the shots of Greenwich…

Chicago….
Finding IMDs in the Windy City

And New York….
And the crowds grew...

Reports from inside JP Morgan say things were anything but cool and collected while the flagship demonstrations were going on in New York and Chicago. We’ll keep you posted on the happenings. Hey, and don’t forget to send in your own photos and let us know the details of your events: grassroots@ran.org.
More than anything we want to know what worked, what you’d do different and what we can do better next time around. Post away folks…

About the Author

After a lifetime on the East Coast and getting stuck in the Midwestern suburbs of Chicago and northern Michigan I'm finally on the West Coast in the always cool and never hot city of San Francisco. Japhet worked for various outdoor organizations before becoming a member of Howard Dean's webteam (a lowly online organizer) in Burlington, Vermont. Afterwards, he continued his election work with America Coming Together in Madison, Wisconsin where he helped increase voter turnout to the highest in state history. Now, coming back to this environmental and corporate ethics roots, Japhet is excited to put his skills to use for Rainforest Action Network.

Check out these and other reports including photos from the Chicago event on Indymedia–including this gem:

Something not mentioned was that two activists from the protest went into to Bank One and closed their personal accounts while letting Bank One knows their reasons were related to Bank One’s refusal to take on the environmental standards of other large banks like Bank of America.

“Also, through the leafletting – one woman walked up and learned about Bank One’s investments destroying the environment and she entered the bank in order to close her bank account as well.”
