Koch Buyout of Tribune Protested Nationwide J.P. Morgan Picketed in Boston

BOSTON/Financial District - J.P. Morgan Chase in Boston was picketed Wednesday to call on the company’s Chairperson, Jamie Dimon, to pledge not to sell its share of the Tribune newspaper company to the Koch brothers. The iconic building at one international place saw about 40 protesters picket outside the entrance to the building as part of a coordinated effort in cities across the US. Campaign Director at Free Press Josh Stearns raises concerns about “putting our local news in the hands of people with deep political agendas.” Members of the SEIU, Mass Senior Action Council, City Life/Vida Urbana, MassUniting, and Jobs With Justice took part in the picket.
