Direct ActionMountain Justice Summer is calling for a day of action against Bank of America to demand they stop funding the coal industry which is destroying the Appalachian mountains through mountaintop removal mining as well as perpetuating climate chaos. Actions are already planned in 19 cities across the US. You can plan an action as simple as a couple people handing out leaflets at your local BoA branch, or as ambitious as a large scale occupation of one of their regional headquarters. Every action counts.
Stop Banking on Coal!

Mountain Justice Summer is calling for a day of action against Bank of America to demand they stop funding the coal industry which is destroying the Appalachian mountains through mountaintop removal mining as well as perpetuating climate chaos. Actions are already planned in 19 cities across the US. You can plan an action as simple as a couple people handing out leaflets at your local BoA branch, or as ambitious as a large scale occupation of one of their regional headquarters. Every action counts.
Between 2005 and 2007, Bank of America facilitated nearly $1 billion in
loans to Massey Energy and Arch Coal, two of the largest companies
responsible for the destructive practice of mountaintop removal coal
mining. This form of mining literally blasts the tops off of mountains to
get at thin seems of coal that lay beneath. Mountaintop removal coal
mining has permanently destroyed over 500 square miles of mountains and
buried over 1,200 miles of streams in West Virginia alone.
Bank of America has also lent or facilitated in the lending of billions of
dollars to Peabody Coal, which is responsible a great deal of past surface
mining in Appalachia and is currently surface mining on native people's
land in the western US.
Bank of America has lent hundreds of millions of dollars to companies that
run and are planning to build new power plants, such as Florida Power and
Light, further contributing to Global Climate Disaster.
Plan an action to tell Bank of America to stop funding the coal industries destruction of our mountains and climate!
