What happened outside the bankers' conference on Tuesday was a reminder of the power of our voices together.
For
three days, thousands of us from every corner of the country and all
walks of life came together to demand change from the Wall Street banks.

But, as amazing as Chicago was, everyone I talked to had the same question:
"What's next?"
What's next for the family having their home foreclosed because mom and dad lost their jobs? What's next for the ABA lobbyists using our tax dollars to fight reform? What's next for the big bank CEO paying himself billion dollar bonuses with our money?The answer is up to us. For too long, we've let Wall Street write the story - and we know how that one goes. Staggering unemployment. Record foreclosures. And complete financial meltdown as their final act.
If the big bank CEOs think what happened in Chicago was the last they've heard from us, they're very, very wrong. We're just getting started.
There are millions of our friends, neighbors, and coworkers who want to see an end to business as usual on Wall Street. Will you show them what we did in Chicago, and what we can do if we all work together?
