ATMs as “Truth Machines"


Activists Turn 85 Bank Of America ATMs Into “Truth Machines”

Members of San Francisco's Rainforest Action Network covered 85 Bank of America ATM screens with overlay stickers, the environmental organization reported, to create awareness of “everything BoA customers' money is being used for.”
The ATM occupants replaced the usual Withdraw from Savings andCheck your Balance options Thursday night with a new interface that offered "investment in coal-fired power plants, foreclosure on Americans’ homes, bankrolling of climate change, and paying for fat executive bonuses." No property damage has been reported as a result of the local activism.
