Activists across the country today are protesting the investment policies of JPMorgan Chase bank. While other leading banks such as Citigroup and Bank of America created more progressive investment standards in response to pressure from groups such as the Rainforest Action Network, JPMorgan Chase has been conspicuously slow to change.
The Rainforest Action Network (RAN) is sponsoring large protests at JPMorgan Chase headquarters in New York and Chicago. In Greenwich, Connecticut, hometown of JPMorgan Chase CEO William Harrison, Yale students are tying giant green ribbons around trees throughout the town as a reminder to Harrison to stop lending money to projects that destroy endangered forests and cause global warming. In other cities where Chase or subsidiary Bank One operate branches students are conducting smaller protests or delivering letters to branch managers.
