About 20 climate activists were arrested Monday during a protest at the Wells Fargo corporate headquarters in San Francisco.
“The ultimate goal is to get Wells Fargo to stop funding oil and gas and coal companies. They are also the top bank funding fracking, and our goal is to get them to stop financing those companies,” said Scott Parkin with the climate group Mt. Diablo Rising Tide. “We wanted to do a large, visible, escalated action to send a message to the corporate management and shareholders,” he said.
Citibank and Bank of America will also be asked to vote on similar shareholder resolutions at their annual meetings, which are also Tuesday, Parkin said.
