DRAG the Dirty Banks!!

Join for the Rainbow Rebellion's first-ever action!! (The Rainbow Rebellion is the Queer affinity group within XR, but all are welcome at this action!)

When: Wednesday, October 25th 4-5:30 PM

Where: Meet at 830 Boylston St, Boston MA - near the entrance to the Pru

Join us as we dress in drag as cleaners and clean up dirty fossil fuel funding banks! We will go to 4 major banks in the Boston area that finance fossil fuel infrastructure and expose their dirty dealings, all while dressed in drag or gender-bending cleaning outfits, bringing some queerness to climate action! As we humorously clean up their lobbies and their acts, we will demand that they stop funding fossil fuel projects, educating bank customers and passers-by. Let's DRAG the dirty banks!

Not ready to dress up? No worries! We'll need many hands to help hold banners, hand out flyers, and take pictures/video. Please sign up!

Why banks? The world's 60 biggest banks have funded over $5.5 TRILLION in just 7 years into fossil fuel funding. Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, and TD bank funded $175 Billion in 2022 alone. If we cut off this funding, we can end the era of fossil fuels faster and move those investments to low carbon alternative energy sources. More info here: Banking on Climate Chaos

In queer climate action, love, and rage
