Tomorrow, during a 1:30 pm rally at the Bank of America (BoA) branch in the University District, representatives from the Faith Action Network and the Church Council of Greater Seattle will close their organizations' bank accounts, and then walk a block and a half down the street to deposit their money into not-for-profit credit union BECU. Both organizations have been banking with BoA, and its predecessor, SeaFirst, since the early 1970s.
"This small step is a reminder to the bank and community that the greed and continued reaping of windfall profits at the expense of taxpayers and bank customers is immoral, and the economic crisis and disparities perpetrated by mega banks an outrage," the church groups wrote in a joint statement.
