DESCRIPTION:An XR Affinity Group is organizing a weekly, Friday meditation and protest 
 at CHASE BANK on Ocean Street EVERY Friday at 3pm until the coming Youth 
 Strike (currently planned for Oct. 29)\n\nWe begin THIS Friday, Oct. 8 at 
 3pm - 4:30 pm (rough end time)\n\nChase Bank is the number one funder of 
 fossil fuels worldwide. This, despite their own, internal report (“Risky 
 Business”) concluding that human caused global heating will lead to the 
 collapse of human civilization. Go figure.\n\nOur immediate concern is the 
 activation of the Canadian-US Enbridge Line 3 Pipeline against treaties 
 established with indigenous nations, and in violation of indigenous 
 sovereignty. Also, the very recent Huntington Beach OIL SPILL highlights 
 the near constant leaks and spills, death and destruction related to oil 
 pipelines. Tar Sands oil from Canada is the dirtiest of all, with a much 
 greater global heating capacity than other oils.\n\nPlease stay tuned to 
 “DISCUSSION" for this EVENT as the Youth Climate Strike is still in 
 planning and that will impact our schedule on Oct. 29 (We will be 
 supporting the Youth Strike that day).\n\nGeneral Schedule (subject to 
 alteration)\n\n3-3:30 pm: Silent Meditation on sidewalk w/ some standing up 
 or sitting (bring lawn chair) to hold signs. Signs about Line 3, indigenous 
 sovereignty, the Canadian pipelines and the coming Climate Strike are 
 welcome. Passing out Line 3 Pipeline and Youth Strike Flyers also OK. We 
 will have some extra signs. However, this is mostly a time of 
 stillness.\n\n3:30-4:15-ish: We will be teaching the XR "Staying Alive" 
 disco dance to anyone who wants to learn. We will learn the dance the next 
 two Fridays and "perform" on the 22nd--and if the youth want us to, on the 
 29th. Bring your disco wear if you like, but especially on the 
 22nd!\n\n4:15-4:30: Die In ... We will lay down and "die" for at least 10 
 minutes. Some folks hopefully will continue to stand or sit and hold signs, 
 to draw motorist attention.\n\nAgain, on the 29th, we will be allowing for 
 the Youth Strike and making changes as the youth make their plans. Stay 
 tuned to this Event.\n\nThe protest may go on a bit longer than 4:30. The 
 bank closes at 5pm. This is a strictly, non-violent, free speech protest 
 organized by an affinity group of Extinction Rebellion in support of 
 350.org, indigenous sovereignty, Fridays for Future, XR and the local youth 
 strike (Youth for Climate Justice).\n\nOur demands are the four XRUS 
 demands, plus for Chase Bank (and all US banks) to divest from fossil 
 fuels. We also demand that Joe Biden halt the oil flow in the Line 3 
 Pipeline and launch an environmental study on its impacts.\n\nPlease share
