I LOVE THIS! Please come to the Creative Arts and Subversive Actions Community Gathering on 1/30 to start organizing....there will be several people presenting ideas that can work for this campaign....off the top of my head: the alternative tours folks could lead tourists to the dirty dozen....there are lots of other ideas floating around....we have a long list of really creative stuff waiting for hands....give me a specific issue/event and I'll try to match it to something...one script that will be aired on 1/30 is called "the lonely house"...it could use a flyer on mortgage profits and banker salaries...thanks so much for this<br>

Hi All,<div><br></div><div>So a few of us have been having some conversations about a focused and sustained campaign on the financial institutions, specifically the mega-banks. This would include actions like today's at BNY Mellon and the BofA action we did during the Day of Action. It would also include informing the public about things they can do (transfer to credit unions) and the egregious things the big banks do; such as basically taking over public policy, making huge investments in dirty coal and mountain top removal, and foreclosing on millions of Americans, often illegally.</div>
<div><br></div><div>We were going to do it as either a subset of street or probably a separate working group, since its focused on a specific target, but would involve street action and so wanted to collaborate and get people aboard who wanted to join. I think we are looking to meet next weekend (the one after MLK) but times not sure. So if you want in let me know</div>
<div><br></div><div>Also thinking back to the Day of Action/Unity Rally, it was a really unique thing that really brought everyone together. With recent events at OB getting really ugly internally, I think it would help us as a movement to try something like that again soon, or otherwise plan some big action that can help us look outward and keep moving. Maybe a bank action, maybe something separate, maybe a lot of separate actions like the DofA. Not sure what it would look like but just wanted throw that out there as I think it would be good for people at Occupy Boston</div>
