Animal Teeth Swallow Up Bank Cards at Bank of America and Wells Fargo
The Raging Grannies joined with grassroots coalition A New Way Forward this month to spread the word to American consumers: "It's time to move your money to a local credit union or bank."
At 400 events in cities and towns across the nation, activists are passing out flyers, telling people how to move their money and demand financial reform. Their message: What's good for MegaBanks is not what's best for the rest of us. The demonstrators insist that the Big Banks be held accountable for bringing down the American economy.
Members of the Raging Grannies distributed flyers in San Francisco Bay Area cities early last week, then took the action up a notch with culture jamming cutouts to help get their message across. The Grannies stood by and recorded reaction as bank customers watched animal teeth swallow up bank cards at Bank of America and Wells Fargo ATM's. Said Granny Gail Sredanovic, "It's just one more way we are demonstrating the greedy reckless behavior of the big banks."
