This morning RAN, the New York Action Network, the Waterkeeper Alliance and the Sierra Club organized a “Carnival of Destruction” outside JPMorgan Chase’s mid-town Manhattan headquarters. Scores of protesters gathered to demand that the bank stop financing the coal industry, including the devastating practice of mountaintop removal coal mining. Just last week JPMorgan Chase – financed company, Massey Energy began blasting on Coal River Mountain, an action that makes this morning’s protest even more urgent.
We called this protest a “Carnival of Destruction” because JPMC’s investments in dirty coal truly are the Most Shocking Show on Earth. Check out pictures below:

Coal also causes black lung disease and kills many miners. We can find natural ways of keeping warm without raping our planet. Greed is not one of the ways.
Everyone needs to move their money out of the large banks and put it into Community Banks and Credit Unions which help support local businesses. If the banks get the word that people will no longer just put money in a bank to get the best interest rate they will start to make the necessary changes.
