2) Banking Working Group:
Keep your eyes and ears open for upcoming activities as we Grandmothers are collaborating with Third Act for the Banking on the Future campaign. Our new Bank Working Group is all-hands-on-deck to build momentum towards the March 21st National Day of Action that we are partnering with Third Act on.. We’ve written an open love letter to our children and grandchildren explaining what moves us to action. (See the flyer at bottom of this email.) We intend to use it and other materials at leafleting activities at Wells Fargo banks both in San Francisco and the East Bay. We’ll begin next week, and we will let Wells Fargo know on Valentine’s Day that we will break up with them if they don’t break up with the fossil fuel industry.
If you’d like to know more and/or want to join our actions at the banks, please email us and we’ll be glad to include you:
