Today is Move Your Money Day! Divest Wall St., fund Main St.

Maddow (11/1/11): ...People are talking about divesting from Wall Street, from big banks here in the U.S.

     In one major case, at least, that means Bank of America, the bank from

which a Catholic Church in San Jose, California, announced last month that

they would removing $3 million.

     Occupy protesters across the country have turned their attention on

their local city halls, urging cities to divest from the big banks which

played such a role in the financial crisis, have not been held accountable

and continue to profit off the woes of the 99 percent.

     This upcoming Saturday, November 5th, the Move Your Money project,

which is not officially a part of "Occupy Wall Street," they will have

their bank transfer day.

     Tonight, organizers tell us that over 71,000 people have pledged to

close their accounts at big banks this weekend, moving them in most cases

to credit unions, small cooperative banks and other local community-based

institutions.

     Seventy-one thousand people signed up already.
