| |
| Our collective demand to stop current banking / corporate greed. Gathering downtown has been making news but corporate heads & stockholders laugh from their estates as we camp out in the rain because they know they still have our money.
| |
| | |
| They know it's a hassle to change our Direct Deposits and AutoPay/e-Pay of our bills. But it's time to hit them where it hurts - in the wallet.
| |
| | |
| Please join in closing accounts at the following banks downtown.
| |
| * BofA @ 1001 SW 5th Ave
| |
| * Wells Fargo @ 900 SW 5th Ave
| |
| * Chase Bank @ 811 SW 6th Ave
| |
| * U.S. Bank @ 900 SW 6th Ave
| |
| * BofA 121 SW Morrison St. branch (where there's also a Wells Fargo Advisor location)
| |
| * Wells Fargo 635 SW 6th Ave branch
| |
| * Chase 1239 NW Couch St
| |
| * U.S. Bank 321 SW 6th St
| |
| | |
| We would love to see people at these banks lined-up down the block and around the corner all prepared and waiting to close our accounts and switch to a local Credit Union.

| ; CHASE PROFITS WHILE THE 99% STRUGGLE
| |
| | |
| Chairman and CEO of JP Morgan Chase is here to talk about recent economic events and his view on what’s next for the global economy.
| |
| | |
| ; Here are some things he won’t be telling you about:
| |
| | |
| * They bought politicians - 08/10 campaign contributions: '''$9.7 million'''
| |
| | |
| * The politicians gave them in bailout money: '''$94.7 billion'''
| |
| | |
| * After the bailout, they laid off: '''14,000 workers'''
| |
| | |
| * They raised your bank fees: '''+249.5%'''
| |
| | |
| * Profits for 1996-2010: '''$153.5 billion'''
| |
| | |
| * Profits for the third quarter of 2011: '''$4.26 billion'''
| |
| | |
| * Median JPMorgan Chase bank teller wage: '''$22,006/yr'''
| |
| | |
| * 2010 CEO Jamie Dimon pay: '''$20.8 million (893 x median teller wage)'''
| |
| | |
| * Effective tax rate in 2008: '''-33.4% (that’s right, MINUS 33.4%)'''
| |
| <br />
| |
| These are but a few of the despicable practices of '''JP Morgan Chase.'''
| |
|
| |
| ; The other big banks are equally odious in one way or another.

| ; Move your money to a Credit Union or local bank!!

| | |
| ; The smart way to change if you have autopay, direct deposit, or other scheduled electronic transactions.
| |
| You can follow this seven-step checklist put together by '''Consumer Reports.'''
| |
| | |
| * Step 1: Open your new bank account with a small deposit.
| |
| | |
| * Step 2: Make a list of all the automatic payments and deposits that are scheduled to go in and out of your old account each month.
| |
|
| |
| * Step 3: If you have direct deposit, ask your employer to reroute your paychecks to your new account. Find out what date the first deposit will occur.
| |
| | |
| * Step 4: Once you know the date, reschedule each automatic payment or debit to come out of your new account. Make sure to ask what date the change will apply.
| |
| | |
| * Step 5: Leave a small amount of cash in your old checking account for at least one more month.
| |
| | |
| * Step 6: Once you’re sure all automatic payments and all direct deposits are coming and going from your new account, electronically transfer the final funds from your old account into the new account.
| |
| | |
| * Step 7: After the transfer clears in your new account, follow the procedures for closing an account at your old financial institution. Make sure to obtain written confirmation that your account is closed.

| = Black Friday Mourning March, November 25, 2011 =
| |
| [[File:99.jpg]]
| |
| ; We propose a Silent March and a day of mourning on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, November 25.
| |
| Marchers will wear black, carry candles appropriate for a vigil, and remain silent.
| |
| | |
| For decades our leaders have guided Americans towards destructive emotions. We were taught to FEAR terrorists and weapons of mass destruction. We were taught that GREED was the core value of the American dream. We were taught
| |
| to '''TRUST''' in our financial systems, that they were '''“too big to fail”'''. We see now that we were cold-heartedly manipulated.
| |
| | |
| As we began to understand the illusion of these emotions imposed upon us, we reacted with an emotion of our own. '''That anger took us to the streets. It created the Occupy movement.''' It’s been several weeks now, and our anger
| |
| still lives, but as we move forward in our efforts towards action, we must first process another necessary emotion that we all share, '''BETRAYAL.'''
| |
| | |
| Whether we in the 99% participate in the movement actively, or quietly observe from home, we share a feeling of utter betrayal from the very government and financial institutions which were supposed to protect us. Let's make that real. It’s time to express our sense of BETRAYAL and allow ourselves to mourn together. This will be an opportunity for us to unite in a very real and powerful sense. Once we acknowledge our pain, we'll be better equipped to personally recover and to take our nation back from those who betrayed us.
| |
| | |
| ; Apart from the resonance of the name "Black" Friday, this march is not a comment on the commercialism associated with this day.
| |
| | |
| '''The route and times of the Black Friday march in Portland are yet to be determined.'''
