DESCRIPTION:Event details: https://xrboston.org/action/dont-bank-at-chase/
 \n\nThis September\, Chase Bank will be enticing students to open accounts
  when school opens. What many students don’t know is that Chase is a fos
 sil fuel giant. The bank uses customer account money\, credit card profits
  and stock investments to bankroll outfits like the Russian energy giant G
 azprom. If you are lucky enough to own mutual funds\, you probably own Cha
 se stock. In 2021\, Chase invested $61.7 billion dollars in fossil fuel co
 mpanies. This financing results in the record atmospheric carbon dioxide l
 evels that are killing life on earth. Chase earns while the earth burns.\n
 \nJoin us in distributing flyers on Thursday September 8\, from 12-2pm and
  urging prospective Chase customers not to invest in this fossil fuel behe
 moth disguising itself as a community bank. We will also be promoting XR B
 oston’s Week of Rebellion. RSVP on this page and we will email you the e
 xact location of the action. It will be somewhere in the Boston/Brookline 
 area. With additional rebels\, we can have more of a presence with banners
 \, flags and signs. So sign up today!\n\nFor more on banks funding fossil 
 fuel companies and the climate crisis\, take a look at [this entertaining 
 yet sobering video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJ7W6HFHPYs&t=213s).\n
