RAN Chicago and The Topless America Project participated in last week’s day of action against JPMorgan Chase’s financing of mountaintop removal coal mining. They visited a Chase branch in Chicago and brought speakers, a banner, flyers and some of them even canceled their Chase accounts.
We just got this video from their event, check it out!
Great job Chicago!

Earlier today, our brothers & sisters @RAMPSWV shut down Alpha HQ today. Solidarity. http://t.co/PnMdzwdlf7
It is about time somebody gave that kid a bull horn. Preach on brother Parson. Take the money away from those that can’t see past it. Stop Mountain Top Removal before any more damage is done. For the sake of those who have bared witness to the complete destruction of their their homes. For the sake of those people poisoned by their tap. For the sake of future generations, that they may have a mountain to gaze upon rather than a placard describing the mountain that was. For the sake of the planet. STOP MOUNTAIN TOP REMOVAL.
Many thanks to the Rev. Blake Hauschild. Solidarity my friend!
Preach on brother man, preach on!
