Earth Quaker Action Team (EQAT) is gathering on December 6 at PNC banks in five states as part of their Bank like Appalachia Matters (BLAM) campaign. The goal is to pressure PNC Bank to stop financing mountaintop removal coal mining.PNC Bank has a historical connection to the Religious Society of Friends and claims to be a green bank, yet is one of the largest financiers of mountain-top removal. We’ll carry out a challenge to their policy and their public image by sitting down and holding meeting for worship inside a local PNC bank. Local Friends have taken a training to lead this event and it will be held in the manner of Friends. The day will start with a mini-training at 9:00 am at Sandy Spring Friends School or another nearby location to be announced and then carpool to a PNC branch for the action. We expect to finish everything, including a debriefing, by 12:30 pm. For more information, contact Travis Gallagher (301-908-3020), Janet Riley (240-389-1458) or Toni Hudson (301-948-0684).
