MOVE YOUR MONEY
Are you angry about Wall Street's reckless excesses? Are
you mad about the huge bonuses
that are being paid to the executives of the big banks?
You can act to change this. Withdraw your
deposits from the large banks that brought the system to
ruin and had to be rescued with billions of taxpayer dollars. Put your money
instead in smaller, safer banks or credit unions in your own community that do
not profit from greed and recklessness.
"Move Your Money" is a volunteer campaign that is lighting
up the Internet because it shows people how they can push back against the big
dogs of banking.
The concept is simple, but this is a big idea that could
change the direction of financial reform. If coordinated with legislative reform
efforts, it could lead to a broad rebellion against the banking robber barons,
with citizens reclaiming the power to act directly when politicians are too
intimidated by moneyed interests to act in the public interest.
The way to start is to go to www.moveyourmoney.info/where you can find community banks in your ZIP code that are
certified as safe and sound. So far, hundreds of thousands of people have
searched for good local banks in ZIP codes that cover 40% of the
nation.
This campaign can help to break up the concentrated power
held by the mega-banks by creating a balanced system of smaller, more diverse
lending institutions that thrive by serving local credit needs.
"Move Your Money" is an example of people power in action
and serves as a direct way for people to work together tochange a dysfunctional
system.
