Move Your Money: Campaign Grows to Divest from "Too Big to Fail" Banks to Local Banks, Credit Unions:
As participants in the Occupy Wall Street movement continue protesting the record profits made by banks bailed out by taxpayer money, a group of grassroots activists are hitting America’s largest banks—including JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Wells Fargo—where it hurts most: the wallet. Dubbing this Saturday, Nov. 5 as "Bank Transfer Day," activists are urging people to move their money out of the banks deemed "too big to fail" into local community banks and credit unions. Bank Transfer Day draws on an idea popularized by filmmaker Eugene Jarecki, economist Rob Johnson and columnist Arianna Huffington, among others. In 2010, they created the short film called "Move Your Money," which became a viral sensation. We speak with filmmaker Eugene Jarecki.

Bank Transfer Day, Credit Unions, And The War On Wall Street

Saturday, November 5 — Bank Transfer Day... Ad?
We’re throwing open our doors this Saturday, November 5 from 10 am to 3:00 pm, in honor of Bank Transfer Day. This day has been designated, transfer your bank account to a credit union. We like this idea, and hope many will do just that. We, of course, think that credit union you’re transferring to should be Pacific Cascade…

Credit Unions See Boost from Bank Transfer Day
New accounts up 100 percent in October ahead of Nov. 5 day of action, local credit unions say
As we steam toward Bank Transfer Day this Saturday, Nov. 5, local credit unions are staffing up and making extra copies of their application forms. Indeed, it seems that L.A. art gallery owner Kristen Christian’s initiative—to dump your lyin’, cheatin’, extra-fee-chargin’, bailout-hoardin’, refi-refusin’ corporate bank and cast your lot and your shekels with a locally owned bank or credit union—is already yielding some results locally.

Those fail too. In fact, there was enough of them failing within the last 20 years that they called it a crisis.

I'm not giving a dime to some fly by night operation just to protest big banks. That is absurd.

I moved my money to a San Francisco credit union online in 15 minutes. Chase can take a flying leap! Check out the ideas of former Assistant Housing Secretary Catherine Austin Fitts. Videos available. Google her. As a former insider she says $$ Trillions are missing from the Federal Government. You will all remember Rumsfeld announcing that over $2 Trillion were missing from the Pentagon. That announcement was made just prior to Sept. 11, conveniently enough. Best wishes out there, my friends. We are all the 99%!
