We went to BoA intending to make a mild statement while choosing to closer our account. It got emotional and more than we were expecting.
We feel this MLKJ quote resonates with our intention 🙂
‎”Nonviolent direct action seeks to create such a crisis and foster such a tension that a community which has constantly refused to negotiate is forced to confront the issue. It seeks to so dramatize the issue that it can no longer be ignored. My citing the creation of tension as part of the work of the nonviolent-resister may sound rather shocking. But I must confess that I am not afraid of the word “tension.” I have earnestly opposed violent tension, but there is a type of constructive, nonviolent tension which is necessary for growth. . . The purpose of our direct-action program is to create a situation so crisis-packed that it will inevitably open the door to negotiation.”

If you what to put these banks out of business, don’t do business with them. Do business with small local banks you think you can trust. If they loose their depositors, they loose their reseve requiements and they must liguidate assets. Then the FDIC steps in and eventually they would be able to bail them out because they will be out of money too.
10,000 people should get organized go to B o A and Citi no signs, no noise, make a line, close a accounts and video tape it all
