Bank Transfer Day Rallies Held Across the Nation 
-------------------------------------------------



Protests were held across the country Saturday to mark Bank Transfer Day
— a campaign to move accounts from big banks into community banks or
credit unions. Former U.S. Secretary of Labor Robert Reich spoke at
Occupy Los Angeles after the Bank Transfer Day march.

Robert Reich, former Secretary of Labor: “Because of Occupy L.A. and
the Occupy movement around America this country is beginning to discuss
an issue, a set of issues, it has avoided discussing for years, and that
is the increasing concentration of income and wealth and political power
at the top of this country and what that has done to our economy and
what that has done to our democracy.”
