"Chase, CitiBank, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo need us much more than we need them," said one protester. "These big four banks are considered too big to fail, but currently, they’re failing all of us on climate and a livable future.

Yesterday, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz signed the 100% Clean Energy bill into law. This bill will ensure Minnesota’s energy sector operates on 100% clean energy by the year 2040.

When the right to privacy is attacked, anyone in our country may face a future where the government can interfere in their personal decisions.
