STOP
MOUNTAINTOP REMOVAL
COAL MINING
Monday, April 21st Judy Winters joins EQAT’s
Move Your Money initiative
to close her PNC account
to tell PNC
to put their money where their mouth is and
contact Judy Winters for more information about how to participate and the trainings: jcwint22[at]comcast.net.
This is the letter from Judy:
Below is a flyer you may send along to any interested parties. The Monday, April 21 action will take place in Newark at the Newark Shopping Center Branch. There is ample free parking at the bank site.There will be two training dates.I suggest you try to make the one on the 17th, but you will do just fine if you can only make the one on the 21st. The one on April 17 at 5:00 is at my house [contact Judy for her information]. The other will be April 21 at 11:00 AM at the Santa Fe Mexican Bar and Grill at 190 E Main St. That location is 1 block away from the parking lot shown. After that training of about 1 hour, we will walk over to the branch site where I will withdraw my remaining funds and you will exert your freedom of speech in law abiding ways we trained for. I hope to engage other Quakers and friends of Friends in this action. At this time there is only one person in DE who is a member of EQAT and that is me! Do join me and my fellow Philadelphia-based EQAT FRIENDS for this protest of MTR which PNC Bank funds. So on this Earth Day coming up, I ask: How Green are you, PNC?
FACTS:
- PNC says it is concerned for the environment yet is one of the top companies financing of mountaintop removal coal mining.
- PNC says it cares about communities yet cuts the tops off mountains and poisons local water sources of those who live nearby.
- PNC says it wants children to grow up great while contributing to higher rates of asthma and poorer success in school.
Judy joins a growing number of individuals and institutions who have collectively removed $3,392,407.04 from PNC Bank.
Take action with EQAT and end mountaintop removal coal mining.
Earth Quaker Action Team meets the first Tuesday of every month at Friends Center, 1501 Cherry St, Phila., PA.
