2010 CHASING CHASE let's CHASE

CHASE!

We have a message for Chase Morgan Bank which received a $25 billion dollar “TARP” bail-out of our money, which owns numerous vacant lots in NYC, which has foreclosed on hundreds of thousands of working people throughout the country, whose CEO Jamie Dimon picked up a cool $20 million dollars last year.

Frank Morales: We had a march to Jamie Dimon, the CEO or whatever of Chase Bank. It was on Park Avenue, I think, and 90th something street. We marched from 125th, down Lex maybe—and down to Park Avenue and 90th Street. And it was a bit of a march, because I think we had a few disabled folk who were with us, or other abled, you know.

It was a slow march, but it was a really powerful march. Of course, we had great banners. Seth [Tobocman] and others would help us with the banners, and we had good banners. I remember that as we were crossing, we were starting to feel a little fatigued. We were about halfway there, and then there were a couple of hills that we had to traverse, and all that, so it was a bit difficult.

But then, we were met by the Rude Mechanical Orchestra. We were coming around the corner, and they started playing. It was so great, I mean, it was such a spirit lifter. And then they joined us, and we made our way to Jamie Dimon’s house. It was impressive. In other words, it was a strong witness, that these people who are sitting on so much wealth, and hoarding it, and facilitating the violence that’s done against people. So, that was a good action.

PTH carried out three banner drops in the early morningof May19, 2010. One inBrooklyn, another in East Harlem and the third in the S. Bronx.
