Wednesday 9/12 - Block
Oakland’s coal terminal
What: The Bank of Montreal has been
instrumental in attempting to raise the money to finance the proposed
coal terminal on the Oakland waterfront. They lobbied to get $50
million from the State of Utah and proposed to raise $200 million from
pension funds, perhaps without disclosing that coal is involved. Protest in front of their hotel
meeting!
You can read more about this at NoCoalinOakland.info. We want to stop
the Bank of Montreal (which claims to practice socially responsible
financing) and warn pension funds and other institutions that they
might be targeted for this toxic and risky investment. If
there is no funding, there will be no terminal!
When: Wednesday, Sept 12th
from 12:00pm-1:30pm
Where: Outside
the Marriott Marquis Hotel (address: 780 Mission Street
San Francisco, CA 94103)
How: No RSVP, just add to your calendar and
show up!
