Total moved out of big banks $939107
Showdown in Chicago at Bankers Meeting 5000+
Posted by tiffiniy on Sep 29, 2009
The same financial institutions that caused the economic crisis and took billions in taxpayer bailouts are back to earning incredible profits. Meanwhile, Americans face shrinking pensions, rising foreclosures and unemployment, state budget cuts, predatory lending, outrageous overdraft fees, and sky-high credit card interest rates.
The American people want oversight, accountability and common-sense financial reform NOW. This is the classic David vs. Goliath fight, with Wall Street spending millions and millions on lobbying to defeat reforms that would protect the American people and our economy.
JOIN US on October 25-27, when thousands of Americans - retirees, farmers, workers, homeowners, renters, students, clergy, and small business owners from all across the United States come together on the streets of Chicago to demand a banking system that puts the American people first and a Congress that makes it happen!
Event Date:
Sun, 10/25/2009 - 09:00 - Tue, 10/27/2009 - 20:00
City:
Chicago
I will go to this event
Tell Congress
New laws should be put in place that end government support for companies becoming “too big to fail” and instead support jobs.
