Year of the Dragon is Year of the 99%
To kick off the Lunar New Year, the Colorful Mamas of the 99% held a festive, family-friendly protest in front of Bank of America in Oakland Chinatown today. Over 50 children, parents and friends gathered to stand up to corporate greed and voice their vision for a better future. Two families closed their accounts at Bank of America. Andrea Ibarra-Tacdol with her husband, Benjamin Ibarra , and their two children closed their accounts during the action, stating, “We are tired of corporations like Bank of America refusing to pay their fair share, putting profits over people. We plan to move our money to a community bank that invest directly back into the community.”
