- Noon on Saturday, at Statehouses across the US – MoveOn.org and other organizations are holding rallies to Save the American Dream. The rallies oppose tax breaks for corporations and the very rich. They demand “an end to the attacks on workers’ rights and public services across the country. Demand investment, to create decent jobs for the millions of people who desperately want to work. And demand that the rich and powerful pay their fair share.”
- Saturday in 37 cities and counting – US Uncut is holding actions to target the mega-banks that pay ZERO in corporate income taxes, even as they wrecked our economy and accepted billions in taxpayer funded bailouts. If you don’t see a rally in your city, the US Uncut website enables you to organize one, and makes it easy with helpful tips, creative ideas, and facts

But the House just voted last week to pull those cops off the Wall Street beat when it set a crippling limit on the Bureau’s funding. Please take a moment and urge your senators to fully fund consumer protection.
