Funding protests

Olympic Climate Action invites the public to peaceful protests across the North Olympic Peninsula on Monday.

In Port Townsend, attendees will gather at the traffic triangle at Kearney Street and Sims Way for a demonstration from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.

In Port Angeles, demonstrators will meet at Civic Field’s parking lot on Race and Second streets for a demonstration from noon to 2 p.m.

For more information, email Michael Clemens at iMichael14@yahoo.com.

In Sequim, attendees will convene at Centennial Place at Washington Street and Sequim Avenue from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.

For more information, email Krestine Reed at 2centsworth@att.net.

The protests are to be in conjunction with the Global Day of Action, a worldwide movement promoting divestment from banks that fund oil projects.

Banks with branches on the North Olympic Peninsula, such as Chase, Wells Fargo and US Bank, helped finance pipelines including the Kinder-Morgan pipeline expansion, according to the release.

According to the release, the pipeline would traverse indigenous territories and increase existing tanker traffic sevenfold that carries tar-sands oil, which is “virtually impossible” to clean up in the aftermath of a spill.
