it's funny because the protestors here have been down there for days but there hasn't been a peep on the local news. Hopefully that will change soon. :)

7. SF weekly article:

Here's what the Facebook invite says:

Big banks crashed our economy and destroyed our communities. Budget cuts threaten our schools, libraries, and social services. We bailed out the banks. Now they need to pay. It is important for us to remember that Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and other banks broke no laws in not paying any taxes this year. They didn't have to because their lobbyists helped to write the tax laws.

The rally today is only one of many screw-your-bank events this week in the Bay Area. On Monday, protesters met in downtown Oakland for a "divest your money" event, asking people to move their money and investments out of big banks. After that, they went a few blocks south to hold a foreclosure vigil near the Alameda County Courthouse, which they aptly dubbed: "Mourning the American Dream."

After today's march through the Financial District, where more than 1,000 people are expected, the movement will take the cause south to Los Angeles, where they will pay a visit to the homes of Wall Street executives and explain to them how exactly they have ruined America.
That should be an interesting conversation.

11. Fuck SF Weekly. A corporate rag that tries to predatory price genuine local press out of business.

Wish I was close to SF, but there is one in LA also, so I might be able to get there as it is only about 2 hours away.
