Bank Transfer Day Rallies Held Across the Nation

HeadlineNov 07, 2011

Protests were held across the country Saturday to mark Bank Transfer Day, a campaign to move accounts from big banks into community banks or credit unions. Former U.S. Secretary of Labor Robert Reich spoke at Occupy Los Angeles after the Bank Transfer Day march.

Robert Reich, former Secretary of Labor: “Because of Occupy L.A. and the Occupy movement around America, this country is beginning to discuss an issue and a set of issues it has avoided discussing for years, and that is the increasing concentration of income and wealth and political power at the very top of this country and what that has done to the economy and what that has done to our democracy.”
