http://crooksandliars.com/kenneth-quinnell/progressive-groups-launch-occupy-A coalition of progressive organizations are launching a virtual march on big banks to "Occupy the Boardroom" in solidarity with the Occupy Wall Street movement. The groups created a website, OccupyTheBoardroom.org, that will gather stories from Americans who have been foreclosed upon or had to file for bankruptcy. Occupy the Boardroom will then print out those stories and deliver them to the executives at the huge banks that played such a big role in the financial crisis that has hurt so many Americans.
http://www.occupytheboardroom.org/ Today is the biggest action yet – the #OccupyWallStreet Global Day of Action. Today the 99% are joining together to stand up to Wall Street and the 1% who control it. In a world where the 1% prospers obscenely while the rest of us fall behind, we are demanding accountability for their crimes and telling them exactly how their actions have affected our lives.
Despite our growing strength, the Wall Street CEOs and their cronies who crashed our economy still act like they can ignore us. So we're aiming our voices directly at the people who caused this global crisis by filling up their inboxes with stories of how their recklessness affected our lives.
(snip)
But OccupyWallStreet has allowed us to stand up and point out, loudly and powerfully, how the greed of the 1% has trumped the need of the 99%. So while hundreds of thousands of people around the world take action in the streets, we are joining in by virtually Occupying the Board Rooms and filling up the inboxes of the 1% with the stories of the 99%.
