A MoveOn protest against the BofA took place this morning in Manhattan:
We know that Bank of America is susceptible to public pressure (remember when they tried to hike debit fees?).3 If we all speak out against BofA on the same day, we can ratchet up the pressure by drawing more media attention and scrutiny to them. That’s why, as part of the 99% Spring, progressives are organizing protests at Bank of America branches throughout the country next week.
There’s a protest in Manhattan on Tuesday, May 8 at 10:30 AM. Can you make it?
Yes, count me in for the protest!
To show Bank of America that we won’t take more of the same, May is “Move Our Money” month for the 99%. We’re withdrawing our hard-earned money and switching to community banks or credit unions instead. Big Banks stand to lose $185 BILLION over the next year because of customer defections—and BofA is particularly vulnerable.4 Bank CEOs aren’t responsive to pleas for help from struggling homeowners—but we’ll get their attention when we put a dent in profits and a spotlight on their greed.
Can you stand with the 99% at a Bank of America protest in Manhattan on Tuesday, May 8, at 10:30 AM?
I’ll put up a video and some pix, if and when they appear.
Marches have also been planned for Washington DC, and other cities across the nation, for tomorrow:
