Building A Break Up the Banks Campaign
Break Up The Banks Coordinated Public CampaignPlease email tyc@anewwayforward.org to add your group.Dear Organization, We invite your group to join a sustained boycott and outreach campaign to change the course for breaking up the banks. You will join the coalition of groups, all of whom believe that the major financial industry players have had far too much control over the response to the economic crisis that is destroying our communities. We need to put people in the seat of power over the bankers. If we don't address the way companies are allowed to grow so big that they can take down the country, we will lose the very battle that can also deliver us to a safer, stabler economy. While each group has a different specific piece of legislative focus, we all share a belief that Wall Street power over government policy is far too great, and that we need to assert control over the large, insolvent companies that are currently being funded by taxpayer dollars. We will work with you to present your policy goals on the site What will this coalition of groups do? We will have a consolidated public campaign that carries a shared message to reform the economy forward. Please get in touch with Tiffiniy Cheng at tyc - anewwayforwad - org

If we say we’re going to deal with this later, after we’ve fixed the immediate problems, then attention is going to wander on to other things' "The Americans for Financial Reform supports our Break up with Your Bank campaign, " A New Way Forward is helping to rein in the greedy reckless behavior of the big banks with their campaign, "Break up with Your Bank". Americans for Financial Reform joins with them to expose the Wall Street bank abuse in credit cards, mortgages and threats to our overall economy that has cost millions of jobs, billions in bailouts and trillions in lost retirement and savings." - AFR Other break up with your bank campaigns: The ADR Credit Union Challenge - compare savings&switch!
