*NATIONAL CALL TO ACTION* BREAK UP WITH BANK OF AMERICA ON VALENTINES DAY FEB 14th, 2009: MASS DAY OF ACCOUNT CLOSURES STOP ALL EVICTIONS AND FORECLOSURES! STOP FINANCING COAL AND CLIMATE CHANGE! Contact: valentinesday@risingtideboston.org This Valentine's Day, February 14th, 2009, join Rising Tide Boston (RTB) in demanding that Bank of America stop its funding of the dirty and deadly coal industry and demanding, in solidarity with City Life/Vide Urbana, that the Bank stop its unjust foreclosures and evictions of working families. Closing your account with Bank of America (BOA) is an important step in bringing closure to this unhealthy relationship. In Boston, we are planning a day of coordinated bank account closures in at least two locations, and encourage people in other places to organize something similar.
