Third Act Vermont 3.21.23 Event 03/21/2023

From the organizer:

Looking for meaningful volunteer action locally? Consider Third Act Vermont.

Third Act is a new nationwide movement for seniors founded by Vermont's own Bill McKibben. Check it out at http://thirdact.org/about/who-we-are/ .

Climate is a major focus. Tuesday, March 21, was the Vermont chapter's action against funding of the fossil fuel industry by banks – the four largest offenders being Chase, Citibank, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America. It took place at Chase Bank, Top of Church Street Marketplace (1 Church St), Burlington. We canceled our credit cards with these banks.
