Rainforest Action Network supports Chase-Manhattan , Citigroup and Bank of America

by pissed
After " boycotting " these banks, RAN signs "environmental responsibility" agreements with them and thereby "certifies" them as guilt free for the consumer.
After signing a "truce" with Citigroup, a Rockefeller establishment bank, RAN took out full page ads in the New York Times declaring Citigroup to be "environmental", as if that is ever going to happen. According to RAN's website, Citigroup, JPMorgan-Chase and BofA are "leaders in social and environmental responsibility" which as we all know is utter fucking bullshit (pardon me). These are the pillars holding up the Exxons, Bechtels and Haliburtons, the Bush administration and its oil wars, a long cry from "Social and Environmental Responsibility". While I support their current boycott of Wells Fargo, the plan is to eventually have them sign RANs' "agreement" , and then RAN will hold them up as shining examples of environmentalism, an issue they apparently do not connect to the problem of military-industrial capitalism. It must be a fundraisers dream to greenwash the Rockefellers' banks.
