This is one of the actions that has actually had an effect already.













"FOR MORE INFO: http://facebook.com/nov.fifth

Together we can ensure that these banking institutions will always remember the 5th of November. If we shift our funds from the for-profit banking institutions in favor of not-for-profit credit unions before this date, we will send a clear message that conscious consumers won't support companies with unethical business practices. It's time to invest in local community growth!

• Research your local credit union options
• Open an account with the one that best suits your needs
• Cancel all automatic withdrawals & deposits
• Transfer your funds to the new account
• Follow your bank's procedures to close your account before 11/05

Danger, Police in Area!


Mother Jones posted this photo from Occupy Oakland protests on Tuesday night. Apparently as the OPD were going crazy with their tear gas and rubber bullets and sound cannons, someone put up this sticker on the police barricades.

"... former Marine Cpl. Scott Olsen, who deployed twice to Iraq with Headquarters and Service Company, 3rd Battalion, 4th Marines based out of Twentynine Palms, Calif."
