Tell BNP Paribas: Don’t Bank on the Bomb!

Tell BNP Paribas: Don’t Bank on the Bomb!

Wednesday, September 26 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm ~ 75 State Street, Boston (State or Downtown Crossing T)

Tell BNP-Paribas Don't Bank on the Bomb
Please join us September 26, 2018 for a demonstration as part of the global day of action against BNP Paribas, a French bank that provides more than $8 billion in financing to nuclear weapons companies. 
BNP Paribas offers services in corporate and investment banking, private banking and asset management. It operates in 74 countries with almost 200,000 employees and over €2 trillion in assets. 
Since January 2014, BNP Paribas has provided more than US$ 8 billion in financing to nuclear weapon producing companies. In 2017 alone, BNP Paribas provided around $1.4 billion USD in new loans and other financial services that support the production and modernization of nuclear weapons. 
Demonstrations are scheduled at BNP Paribas location in 13 countries. Join us for a demonstration September 26th, from 12:00pm-1:00PM outside of BNP Asset Management Offices, 75 State Street, Boston, MA 02109.   September 26 is the United Nations’ International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons.   In Northampton, gather at City Hall at 5:30pm with Mayor Narkewicz and the Resistance Center for Peace and Justice.
We are calling on BNP Paribas to stop all investments in nuclear weapons. On July 7th, 2017 the UN adopted the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. This treaty bans nuclear weapons and all activities related to them.  BNP Paribas must end all investments in nuclear weapons to keep up with the changing times. Through coordinated action we have a strong opportunity to get BNP Paribas to divest from these weapons of Armageddon.
Sponsored by Massachusetts Peace Action, Don’t Bank on the Bomb, NuclearBan.US, Veterans for Peace/ Smedley Butler Brigade, Beyond the Bomb, Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom/ Boston Branch, Physicians for Social Responsibility, and International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War.

Tell the Senate to Reject Kavanaugh.

Click here to ask your Senators to reject the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh for the U.S. Supreme Court and to investigate all charges against him.

And click here to keep RootsAction alive and doing this work.

Kavanaugh has almost certainly lied under oath to Congress.

He has worked to deny rights to African-Americans, to Hawaiians, to women, and to voters.

He has striven to expand presidential powers to launch wars.

He has been accused of sexual assault, a charge that must be investigated.

His confirmation would take U.S. laws in several very dangerous directions for a long time to come.

Click here to urge that his nomination be rejected immediately.

Homeless folks are testifying The Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival

The Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival<info@poorpeoplescampaign.org>
To 
Dear Alfred,
We have to revive the heart and soul of this nation.
From September to December, from Maryland to Kentucky, we’ll be holding hearings before candidates, elected representatives, and community leaders demanding that they finally submit to the testimony of the poor.
Our first hearing this morning, before Nancy Pelosi and other members of Congress, is laying bare the evils of policy violence—child poverty and homelessness, family separation, denial of health care and more. This evening we will be in Virginia for a Poor People’s Hearing in Richmond. We won’t let politicians claim they didn’t know any better ever again.
In this electoral season, politicians will be forced to listen to those who have been left out of the electoral process; they will learn about the power of a new and unsettling force that is organizing across this country, and they will hear our demands!
GIVE TODAY
The sad truth is there are so many poor folk in this country that we could hold hearings every day for a year without coming close to showing elected officials what their willful ignorance has done.
With your support, we’ll keep inventing new, powerful ways to force politicians and our larger society to listen to the least among us and build power among poor people.
Forward together, not one step back!
