In Oregon, dozens of JwJ activists participated in joint actions Wednesday Oct. 29th in solidarity with 400 other JwJ activists who were at the “Showdown in Chicago” taking on the American Bankers Association. In Portland and in Bend they joined up with ENLACE to demand accountability from JP MORGAN CHASE.
CHASE is a major contributor to the effort to defeat the Employee Free Choice Act who recently received billions of dollars from taxpayers. Instead of using the public’s money to renegotiate home mortgage loans and prevent small and medium size businesses from closing, they’ve prioritized obscene bonuses to overpaid executives!
Oregon activists are committed to continuing their fight to rebuild the economy so that it works for everyone (not just Wall Street) and are pledging to “CHASE the thieves!” out of town.
As the compas from ENLACE said, “Chale con CHASE!”
