WHEN: May 19th,
Rally, 9:30 am - 10:30 am

WHERE: One Chase Manhattan Plaza, New York, NY [map]WHAT: Rally outside the JPMorgan Chase annual shareholder meeting, questioning Jamie Dimon, one of the leading financiers of coal plants and mountaintop removal coal mining. Despite Mr. Dimon’s rhetoric on the need for clean energy and strong environmental policies, JPMorgan Chase continues to underwrite Massey Energy, one of the biggest and most heavily criticized mountaintop removal coal mining companies in the country. JP Morgan Chase also continues to fund expensive and highly polluting coal plants throughout the United States, including the proposed AMP-Ohio coal plant, one of the most financially risky coal proposals in the country.
WHO: Dozens of activists with the Sierra Club, Rainforest Action Network, and New York Public Interest Research Group.
