On August 7th Third Act Mainers joined Lee Chisholm of 350.org in a series of actions in support of The Summer of Heat Campaign. They delivered petitions with nearly 7,000 signatories representing customers of 6 corporations who are partnered with Citibank for their store credit card. The group began at L.L. Bean corporate headquarters where they were met by the head of security, Scott Ireland who accepted the petition, promised to deliver it to Stephen Smith, CEO and said there would be no reply. He was courteous, but dismissive and at one point told them to “do their homework” (Note: you know we have). The other corporations were Home Depot, AT&T, Macy’s, Best Buy and Costco.
