You Can't Bail Out a Dead Planet!
Tell Bank of America to stop funding mountaintop removal! 704-386-5681 RAN and our friends Kentuckians for the Commonwealth, Appalachian Voices, Ohio Valley Environmental Coalition, Rising Tide, SEAC and SDS had a major presence at both the Citi and Bank of America annual shareholder's meetings this year. Citi executives agreed to join us for flight over Appalachia to witness first hand the devastation caused by mountaintop removal coal mining. Bank of America CEO Ken Lewis, however, ignored our calls for action and didn't have any meaningful response to frontline activists who told him directly how destructive mountaintop removal coal mining--funded by Bank of America--has been in their communities. Ken Lewis was visibly frustrated at the meeting when speaker after speaker asked him about coal and mountaintop removal. Now it's time to add your voice! Call Bank of America CEO Ken Lewis today and give him one simple message: stop funding mountaintop removal coal mining! Call now: 704-386-5681
