The Tipping Point: Join Us This Week

RSVP for an Action

Wall Street, NY
Last year, hundreds of people stood outside Bank of America's annual shareholder meeting demanding change. They were demanding that BofA's Ken Lewis be fired and the bank stop preying on taxpayers to fund their massive bonuses.

Ken Lewis was forced to step down as Chairman of the Board and, shortly thereafter, was forced to resign as CEO of the bank. But BofA continues to pay its executives huge bonuses at the expense of our jobs, our communities, and our economy. And they're not alone.

Our action outside the BofA shareholder meeting may not have been the end of the road, but it was an important lesson in the power we can have when we stand up to the greedy Wall Street banks.

So, this year, we're doing it again. And we're doing it everywhere.

Next week, we'll be at big bank shareholder meetings and offices across the country. We are demanding that the big banks stop using our money to lobby against consumer protection; stop throwing people out of their homes unnecessarily; get out of the business of payday and other predatory lending; help cities and states solve budget gaps to save critical services; and start making good loans to small businesses and families in Main Street, rather than gambling our money at the Wall Street casino.

People are fed up. But rather than just getting mad, we're getting together and demanding change from Wall Street and their cronies in Washington. Be a part of the movement to rein in big bank greed by joining us at an action next week.
