Columbia SC #DivestTheGlobe

Start: Monday, October 23, 2017 1:30 PM

On October 23rd, ninety-two of the world's largest banks will meet in São Paolo, Brazil to vote on a policy that upholds indigenous people's right to Free, Prior, and Informed Consent  (FPIC) to allow or disallow projects on their lands. These banks include Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) financiers such as Wells Fargo, Bank of America, J.P. Morgan Chase, and more. As Energy Transfer (the company behind DAPL) made clear in their lawsuit against Greenpeace and others,

DIVESTMENT WORKS.

We have set up a meeting with Mayor Benjamin's office (1773 Main street) at 2pm. We'll meet up a few minutes early outside Wells Fargo so we can deliver a letter from the coalition and then walk over to City Hall together.
