Hi!
I just joined Seattle ANWF today in search of a group who might be likely to protest at a Bank as Michael Moore suggests in his Action Plan: 15 Things Every American Can Do Right Now.
Seattle has plenty of Wells Fargo and Bank of America branches that could use a little street heat with the "Capitalism Did This" picket signs.
What do y'all think?

Protesting banks
I am also interested in protesting at banks.
I have already made address label stickers, advertising moveyourmoney.info, and placed them on ATMS and other places.
I've also printed 100 of the fliers, similar to the ones available on this website and plan to hand them out at BofA in the U District.
I just had to pay $115.49, $105 of which were overdraft charges, to close my account at this shit hole.
I've looked into having picketing signs made at Fedex Office (Kinkos) and their rates are pretty reasonable. I can design the signs.
Anyone interested in doing this. Let me know!

Protesting banks
I would like to be part of a protest. I have already made stickers, and have been placing them on ATMs and other high-profile places. I've printed 100 of the fliers available on this website and plan to hand them out at the BofA in the U District.
I just paid $105 to close my account at this bank, because it was overdrawn $10.49.
Anyway, is anyone else interested in this? Fedex Office (Kinkos) has some reasonable options to make "strike" signs.
I'm already planning on doing this myself, but it would be good to have a group.
...and transfer our money
So glad to see this! I agree with Todd re some action in front of BIG banks....and would be great to encourage people to transfer money to local banks and credit unions. I understand ANWF is working on such a campaign. (Another campaign aligned - Move Your Money campaign! See HuffPost 12/29 - http://bit.ly/73RiP6)
