National day of protest for banking reform instead of bailouts

Cory Doctorow 11:31 pm Mon Mar 16, 2009

Tiffiniy sez, "AIG bonuses are maddening! It's time to break the power of the bankers. On April 11, national US protests will be organized to demand for a new way forward on the economy, a systematic restructuring of the financial institutions.

Nationalize, Reorganize, Decentralize. Protests are organized through Facebook, Twitter, and message board forums by people all over the US. So, who's going to jump the gun and organize one for their city?"

It’s time to stop giving huge handouts to banks and start creating systemic change that helps everyone. We demand a new way forward now.

We are sick of bailouts that are enriching bankers without restructuring a broken industry. Join us on April 11, 2009 as we rally for systematic change based in fairness and intelligent economics. Nationalize, Reorganize, Decentralize. If you don’t see your city or town listed on the right, please sign up your city to get it going.

A New Way Forward

(Thanks, Tiffiniy!)
