Wall Street Rally

Wall Street Rally Today

by digby

... but not the kind they like. If you're in New York and you can get away from work this after noon, this is worth doing:

National People’s Action issues a Call to Action for everyday people--small business owners and union members, homeowners and tenants, faith leaders, the employed and the unemployed--to join together in recognition of our shared fate and our commitment to democracy.

Today at 3:30pm ET, thousands will converge on Wall Street to reclaim America with one simple message: Americans deserve an economy that works for all of us, not just Wall Street!

Wall Street and big banks like Bank of America and Wells Fargo crashed our economy leaving millions without housing, work, and critical services.

WHEN: 3:30pm: Assemble • 4pm: March and rally
WHERE: Next to City Hall Park, NYC (Enter at Broadway and Chambers St.)

For the rest of us, the AFL-CIO has kindly offered a livestream of the event, so click here at 4pm to see the goings on.

I hope this keeps up even after the financial reform bill is (probably) passed. It doesn't end with that piece of legislation --- people have to be educated about the fact that if the government is the problem in this case, it's because they didn't do enough, not that they did too much. Until people understand that, we will go from bubble to bubble, the upper classes gaining each time at the expense of everyone else.
