All customers and/or protesters are indiscriminately arrested and forced back into the bank.
According to the organizer,
"Together we can ensure that these banking institutions will always remember the 5th of November!! If the 99% removes our funds from the major banking institutions to non-profit credit unions on or by this date, we will send a clear message to the 1% that conscious consumers won't support companies with unethical business practices.
• Research your local credit union options • Open an account with the one that best suits your needs • Cancel all automatic withdrawals & deposits • Transfer your funds to the new account • Follow your bank's procedures to close your account before 11/05"

Here is what I suggest:
Do not move all of your funds. To put this big of a strain on the system may be irresponsible. Move some of your money out. Just opening an account will send the signal we need.
To find a Credit Union:

Why not move it all at once? Shock and Awe...
How you like Them Apples, Wall St?!?
Arent they afraid of lawsuits?
Based on that first video I posted. Yeah I would totally sue.
Ho lee shit. Did anyone have video from inside? Has anyone who was in there explained what happened?
Here is the video I referred to below: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=tK0O30aFT7g
No Idea, There are other videos that show the same reaction from banks in Santa Cruz, CA - Apparently its a corporate issued order that states "Protesters are not customers, even if you are a customer of the bank".
