Join our Northwest community as we...CHASE the thieves
WHEN: WEDNESDAY October 28th
NOON
WHERE: Chase Bank
825 SW 5th Ave, Portland, OR
Join us, a coalition of Oregon and Washington community and labor
groups, as we take action at JP Morgan Chase in a multi-city action.
We demand that our states adopt legislation to charge a fee to
recipients of more than 1 billion dollars in tax-free federal subsidies
within their jurisdictions and use the proceeds for public health
services.
WHO REALLY IS JP MORGAN CHASE?
• Major contributor to the effort to defeat the Employee Free Choice Act
• Played leading role in (and profited greatly from) the collapse of the Mexican economy in the late 1990’s
• Refuses to pay taxes in Mexico, contributing to destruction of Mexican health care and education systems
• Received billions in taxpayer subsidies but charges exorbitant bank
account fees, credit card fees and increased interest rates to working
people. They haven’t used the public subsidies to renegotiate home
mortgage loans nor to keep small and medium sized businesses from
closing
• Gives obscene bonuses to overpaid executives
• Played major role in 2008 U.S. financial crisis
Can’t make it to the action? You can still send CHASE the message by
1- Moving your bank account from JP Morgan Chase to a locally accountable financial institution.
2- Call/Email/Write your state legislature to adopt legislation to
charge a fee to recipients of more than 1 billion dollars in tax-free
federal subsidies.
