I’m sure many of you already know about this, but I thought I’d post anyway.<\/font><\/p>\n

November 5th is being called Bank Transfer Day, where folks all over the country are closing their bank accounts with large banks (Bank Of America, Citibank, Wells Fargo, Chase, etc) and opening accounts with small local banks and local credit unions.<\/font><\/p>\n

It’s already started and we’re starting to see a direct effect on the big banks.\u00a0 If the government refuses to fix the “too big to fail” problem, the citizens will see to it.<\/font><\/p>\n

OWS investing their money directly into main street America, letting the almighty free market do it’s magic.\u00a0 I can’t wait to see how the Republicans try to vilify this one.\u00a0 Lulz!

In related news, OccupyOakland is calling for a citywide general strike on November 2nd in protest of the brutality that was unleashed upon protesters.\u00a0 All Oakland residents are encouraged to skip work, school, and other daily duties in favor of protesting.<\/font><\/p>\n

In related, related news, there are rumblings in the OWS community about a nationwide general strike on Black Friday (the Friday after Thanksgiving).\u00a0 I think a lot of that depends on how many more protesters get shot in the face with rubber bullets.<\/font><\/p>\n

And now for some gratuitous propaganda!<\/font>
