Shocking: JPMorgan Chase's Carnival of Destruction!

On October 29th, the New York Action Network, Ran, the Waterkeeper Alliance and the Sierra Club organized a Carnival of Destruction outside JPMorgan Chases mid-town Manhattan headquarters. Scores of protesters gathered to demand that the bank stop financing the coal industry, including the devastating practice of mountaintop removal coal mining. Just last week JPMorgan Chase financed company, Massey Energy began blasting on Coal River Mountain, an action that makes this mornings protest even more urgent.

We called this protest a Carnival of Destruction because JPMCs investments in dirty coal truly are the Most Shocking Show on Earth.

Mountain top removal mining, to get so-called "clean" coal is an abomination. It destroys watersheds, kills people, animals and rare plants and can be seen from the moon.

Nice efforts. Sad but true. People have been aggressively protesting all matter of wrongs since 2008. Yet all those wrongs still come to pass. Talking time is over.
