Defund Line 3 Day of Action
Friday, May 7
12 noon
Wells Fargo - 1300 I St. NW,
Washington, DC 20005
Line 3 would be a disaster for our climate & it violates Indigenous rights.
Water Protectors are taking almost daily direct action to stop the construction of the toxic Line 3 tar sands pipeline: locking themselves inside sections of pipe, blockading entrances to construction sites, even using pianos to stop construction.
More than 130 people have been arrested in recent weeks.
Major banks ― such as JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, CitiBank and TD Bank ― have loaned billions of dollars to Enbridge so it can build Line 3.
Those banks are profiting from the Line 3 pipeline. They are enabling the pipeline. They are complicit in the pipeline. And they will be held accountable.
Leaders on the frontlines are calling on activists around the country to organize #DefundLine3 actions at branches of the banks funding this toxic pipeline.
Here in the nation's capital, we're planning to take action on Friday, May 7 at several different Wells Fargo branches to tell the bank to #DefundLine3.
Throughout the morning we’ll break into three groups to visit different branches around the district with a giant snake, a roving dance party, and a mock oil spill. Then at 12 noon we’ll converge at the Wells Fargo at 1300 I St. NW for a final action.
Want to join the dance party, carry the black snake, or help make the mock oil spill happen? Fill out this form and we’ll get you plugged in. Otherwise we’ll meet you at 12 noon at 1300 I St NW!
