Make Big Banks Pay Their Share

Mon, May 17th

Noon

Gather in Farragut Square, 17th and K NW

Join thousands of activists from National People's Action, Jobs with

Justice, SEIU, the AFL-CIO to demand jobs and real economic reform. The

big banks and the lobbyists that support them received an estimated

$213.8 billion in taxpayer funds as a part of the bail-out, then spent

millions lobbying against regulation, solutions to the housing crisis,

and the right for workers to organize unions. Following up on the

showdown on Wall Street, we are coming to K Street to put the spotlight

on the lobbyists that do that banks’ dirty work—and to demand

Congress stop accepting their bribes!
