OCCUPY THE BANKS!

Join the growing movement to hold banks accountable and end corporate greed

 December 12, 2011

Time: 4pm-6pm

Where: Bank of America & Wells Fargo at Cityview Plaza, 121 Park Center Plaza, San Jose, CA 95113. On S. Market St. between Park Ave. & San Fernando St.

 What: Rally, march and bank delegation

 Why: Banks have been profiting by their unethical practices that have caused great grief to our families and communities. Join us in demanding for Bank of America and Wells Fargo to stop their investment in detention centers (CCA and Geo Group) who are making millions off the separation and incarceration of immigrants, end their support of anti-immigrant policies and politicians (more information on Dec. 11 “Detention Centers & Big Banks - Documentary Showing & Teach-In” (info below)), and for them to let people keep their homes.
