People First, Not Mega Banks!
Protest at Chase Bank
http://web.mail.com/31793-111/mmc-2/en-us/mail/get-attachment.aspx?uid=1.29433782&folder=Inbox&partId=2
Friday, June 25, During the US Social Forum (http://www.ussf2010.org/)
Stop Foreclosures in Detroit
Stop Worker Abuse in North Carolina
We are calling on JP Morgan Chase Bank (http://www.jpmorganchase.com/corporate/Home/contact-us.htm)to:
1) Sever its business ties to RJ Reynolds if the tobacco giant refuses to join negotiations with the Farm Labor Organizing Committee (FLOC) over the slave-labor working conditions at the company’s contract growers in North Carolina.
2) Declare a moratorium on foreclosures in Michigan. As the prime contractor for issuing debit cards to the state’s unemployed for collecting benefits, Chase should not be foreclosing on unemployed homeowners as it also profits from their debit cards.
Where and When:
Marchers will gather at Grand Circus Park and Woodward Avenue, across from Central Methodist Church (http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&hs=Bic&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=Grand+Circus+Park++woodward+avenue+detroit&fb=1&gl=us&hq=Grand+Circus+Park+woodward+avenue&hnear=Detroit,+MI&cid=0,0,2707353549985870030&ei=ixYITO6CE4aglAfan5CaDg&sa=X&oi=local_result&ct=image&resnum=1&ved=0CBcQnwIwAA), at 9:45 am on Friday, June 25, for a brief rally. The march will proceed down Woodward Avenue to the Chase Bank headquarters, where a delegation will enter and seek a hearing with bank officers.
Organized by the Faith and Spirituality Committee of the US Social Forum, together with the Farm Labor Organizing Committee (http://supportfloc.org/default.aspx) (FLOC (http://supportfloc.org/aboutus.aspx)), Jobs With Justice (http://www.jwj.org/) (JWJ (http://www.jwj.org/about.html)), and Moratorium Now (http://www.moratorium-mi.org/). Endorsed by the Metro AFL-CIO (http://www.metrodetroitaflcio.org/) and the United Auto Workers (http://www.uaw.org/).
