Hello friends, this Friday, we're putting FAMILY first. We're calling on mothers, fathers, grandparents, children to join the movement as we collectively stand with water protectors and earth warriors to fight for future generations! Come to LA City Hall and deliver a one-minute public comment in front of councilmembers. We need the voices of children and families to demand our city DIVEST and INVEST in humanity and our planet. We are now in a critical moment that will affect the future for ALL residents. We demand Los Angeles divest from Wells Fargo for the continual atrocities they have conducted on our community members. We want accountability from banks. We refuse to have our public funds in corrupt financial institutions that target the elderly, immigrants and ethnic minorities, and finances the Dakota Access Pipeline. Wells Fargo has proven they are NOT an institution that values the wellbeing of our communities. Stand up for justice, this is a fight for our future! 10AM LA City Hall - General Council Chambers Rm 340 200 N.
