Flood JPMorgan Chase CEO with Letters!                  

Join climate activists across the country to flood Jamie Dimon with a 1000+ letters!  Dimon is the CEO of Chase Bank — the biggest funder of the fossil fuel industry and the LARGEST US funder of the hideous Jordan Cove pipeline project.  He will receive at least 1000 letters sent all at the same time to his home address demanding that Chase immediately stop funding new fossil fuel projects (arctic drilling, new pipelines, etc.) and make a plan to eliminate funding of current fossil fuel projects by 2030.  Deadline for getting the letters to 350PDX is January 17.

What to do:

  1. Print copies of this sample letter to Jamie Dimon (or write your own letter!) — maybe you need 1 or 100 copies.
  2. Take copies of the letter to meetings, gatherings, etc. and ask people to sign the letter. People can add their own message, drawings, or emojis, to the letter! PLEASE HAVE THE PERSON SIGNING PRINT THEIR NAME AND ADDRESS BELOW THE SIGNATURE.
  3. Once you have collected the signed copies of the letter(s), get those letters to Jenifer Schramm, on the Divest Team by dropping them off or mailing them to Dineen at the 350 office (1820 NE 21st Ave, Portland, OR 97212). We will put the letters in envelopes, address and stamp, and send them all on the same day to create the “flood.” If you need letters picked up, or have any questions, email jenifer@350pdx.org.
