Forum Post: November 5th

November 5th - Close bank accounts (transfer to credit union) -- and do not use credit cards, as banks benefit.

Also, don't be fooled by the dropping of debit card fees. The charges will be invisibly tacked on elsewhere.

HI Lelty ---

Maybe we should do one thing at a time -- to make sure everything gets done -- without confusion. The banks are a basic element. If they fail -- everything will, no?

Happy Occupying to us all.

bank transfer day coming November 5

November 5 has been designated Bank Transfer Day or Move Your Money day, the day to send the message to the too-big-to-fail Wall Street banks that they have failed us.

But it looks like the tsunami has already begun. The Credit Union National Association (CUNA) says that some 650,000 people have opened credit unions in the past month – more than in all of 2010.
