[Spencer Graves]

Hello, All:


       The South Bay Mobilization is planning to "Occupy the Banks" at 
Market and San Fernando in San Jose (Cesar Chavez Park), tomorrow, 
Monday, Dec. 12.


Hi, Caroline, Merriam:


       1.  How many copies do you have of the Green Party "Move Your 
Money" z-folds and "Media & Democracy" bookmarks?


       2.  Will you be able to arrange for some of those to appear at 
Market and San Fernando in San Jose at the appointed time?


       Thanks,
       Spencer Graves

Dear Brothers, Sisters, Friends,
I was informed today that the South Bay Labor Council
Executive Board has voted to join with the many
organizations that have endorsed this event.
Please make every effort to attend and bring co-workers and
friends. Help to make this a really powerful statement that
we won’t stand for Big Bank victimization of immigrants and
working class homeowners – the 99%.
Please read the background information I put below this leaflet.
See you on Monday afternoon.
In solidarity,
Fred

**Here isWhat You Should Know About Wells Fargo and Bank of
America.

*Wall Street big banks profit from jailing our family and
community members.

Some of the biggest banks in America are getting even richer
by investing in private prisons, including immigrant
detention centers. In other countries such places were
called “concentration camps.” In 2007 Bank of America
arranged investments of $450,000,000 for expansion and
development of facilities for the Corrections Corporation of
America (CCA), the biggest operator of immigrant detention
centers and other private prisons in the country.

Wells Fargo also invested in growing this spreading web of
private prisons to the tune of $5,900,000 in CCA and
$88,700,000 in another profit driven prison company, GEO Group.

CCA&  GEO Group invest some of their expanding wealth in
anti-immigrant politicians and in lobbying for harsher
immigration policies and stricter criminal sentencing. The
more people they imprison, and the longer they keep them,
the higher their profits. These Wall Street One Percenters
have opened a gold mine based on human misery and ethnic
cleansing.

These Big Banks also cause untold suffering by foreclosing
people out of their homes and simultaneously boosting rents.

Our families are struggling while the big Wall Street banks
that triggered this economic collapse are raking in record
profits. You are probably aware of this impact in your own
immediate or extended family and in your community.

6.2 million families have already lost their homes; another
4.2 million are soon to be put out on the street. An
additional 3.5 million families are estimated to be
foreclosed next year. More information here:

Hope to see you at Market, near San Fernando from 4:00 to
6:00 PM on Monday.

Fred
