CA Community Leaders demand Wells Fargo end Foreclosures

Ruckus was proud to support the Bank Accountability Coalition – made up of homeowners, clergy, and labor leaders from ACCE (Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment), Causa Justa::Just Cause, SEIU, and CCISCO (Contra Costa Interfaith Supporting Community Organization) – to pull off an inside/outside action at Wells Fargo’s Annual Shareholders Meeting in San Francisco May 3, 2011.  Hundreds marched and rallied outside, while a handful of community members entered the AGM and demanded that Wells Fargo put a moratorium on all home foreclosures.  Eventually, 8 were arrested.

Check out some of the reports from the action:
