The rationale is climate-related. To quote Common Dreams: "Just weeks after the inauguration, Wells Fargo became the only major U.S. bank to completely abandon its 2030 and 2050 climate goals, despite warnings from experts that we are headed toward catastrophic climate harms. The timing was not a coincidence."
To his credit, Richard Stallman does routinely attend if not leads protests. █
