[Rainforest Action Netwrok - Mike G] RAN activists took to the streets of San Francisco last night (12 Jan, 2012) and turned 85 Bank of America ATM’s in the city into “Automated Truth Machines”.
The activists used special non-adhesive stickers designed to look exactly like BoA’s ATM interface. But instead of checking and savings accounts, these new menus offered a list of everything BoA customers’ money is being used for, including investment in coal-fired power plants, foreclosure on Americans’ homes, bankrolling of climate change, and paying for fat executive bonuses.
The stickers also encourage BoA customers to “Stop doing business with Bank of America until they start behaving responsibly” and have the URL to RAN/Bottom Line‘s new blog.
BankruptingAmerica.tumblr.com.
RAN is using that blog to track all the ways BoA is bankrupting America, hence the name.
