July 13th Fresno, CA. Occupy Fresno "move your money" action.. we need you
(if you are in or near Fresno, CA)
If you understand how the 99% has been robbed, abused, and abandoned by the 1%, come to the press conference Friday, July 13 at St. Anthony Claret Catholic Church, 2494 S Chestnut Ave, Fresno, CA 93725 (2 blocks south of Church St.) in southeast Fresno.
Please come at 11:30. In order to make the visual statement planned by the organizers you will need to get a card with a number and be in place when the media arrives. If you can’t come at 11:30 come when you can. The press conference will start at noon and will end at 12:30.
There should be excellent media coverage of the event because of the signing of the California Homeowner Bill of Rights by Governor Jerry Brown yesterday http://gov.ca.gov/home.php. (Cut and paste this link.) The timing is perfect.
The press conference will educate the community about the impact of bank corruption on residents of Fresno and on the power of moving our money out of the “too big to fail” banks - Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citigroup, JP Morgan/ Chase and Goldman Sachs – and into local banks or credit unions.
The organizer is Faith In Community – PICO. Occupy Fresno, Peace Fresno and WILPF’s Raging Grannies are supporters.
Please make this a priority if you can possibly attend.
Faith In Community has been planning this event for quite a while and they are very well prepared.
If you have moved your money out of one of the big banks in the last year or commit to doing so before August 13, please be sure to let Pastor Steve Ratzlaff (ffalztar@sbcglobal.net, 559-307-1555) or me know today so we can add your name to the visual planned for Friday’s event. The organizers will list the first name and last initial of each “money mover” on a green card to be displayed at the press conference. You need not be present to be counted! A card with your name will be held by someone in attendance.
