Over time, protests became more and more elaborate and creative. September 22, 2011, EQAT charged PNC with "impersonating a green bank" and held a trial in the PNC lobby. Two weeks later, they held a "die-in" alongside activists from Occupy Philadelphia, where protesters acted dead by laying on the floor of a PNC bank. December 6, 2011, police arrested five EQAT members for constructing windmills (a clean alternative to coal) inside of the downtown PNC bank. In February 2012, EQAT convinced various Quaker groups to withdraw nearly two million dollars (later increased to over three million) invested with PNC, and in April of that year, EQAT along with students from various colleges, protested by dancing to bluegrass music next to the University of Pennsylvania’s PNC campus branch. April 30, 2012, EQAT members began a 200-mile walk from Philadelphia to the PNC Bank headquarters in Pittsburgh. EQAT held a series of protests at PNC branches along the way. In October 2012, activist students began to approach PNC bank managers, asking them to drink well water from affected communities in Appalachia.
