On Veteran's Day, the people foreclosed on a branch of Bank of America.
Today’s Bank march was a resounding success. After rallying around 4 PM, Occupy Atlanta protesters and fed-up citizens marched on Bank of America. To the complete surprise and chagrin of the police who attempted to protect Bank of America’s downtown headquarters, the protesters instead marched to the nearest Bank of America branch downtown and declared it foreclosed for their actions against the hardworking people of this country. Signs were hung and the doors were locked shut. Police were seen hours later at the scene in frustration trying to remove the locks put on the doors.
We support the people against fraudulent banking practices, outrageous fees, fee-sorting, and will continue fighting this struggle for the people who have been unjustly, and often irreparably, hurt by these practices.
Thank you everyone for a great day! More media coming soon!
