See what went into the creation of a giant street mural outside Wells Fargo headquarters on Montgomery Street on April 9. Demonstrators called on the bank to defund the construction of a new route for the Line 3 oil pipeline. In addition they demanded the removal of board chair Charles H. Noski.
Protesters later marched through the Financial District to the headquarters of BlackRock. There they placed hands dipped in red clay on the company's logo and on windows. BlackRock an investment management company complicit in creation of oil pipelines.
For any who are wondering what the Line 3 project the demonstrators are protesting is... it is a proposed expansion of an existing pipeline...it would carry nearly a million barrels of tar sands per day from Alberta, Canada to Superior, Wisconsin.
