Foreclose the Banks action in downtown San Francisco. About 500 people gathered at 7am and marched from the OccupySF site at the Federal Reserve to Wells Fargo offices on Montgomery Street in the heart of the Financial District. Feeder marches swelled the crowd to about 800 as we arrived at Wells Fargo.

About fifty blockaders shut all entrances to the bank. Police arrested 11 people at one entrance around 8am, which allowed employees to enter. The branch office remained closed through the morning as protesters danced to the Brass Liberation Orchestra and did street theater on Montgomery Street.
