Subject: Message from the host of: "Make Wall Street Pay"
The following is a message from the host of Make Wall Street Pay, the Make Wall Street Pay Action that you signed up to attend:
Please contact me and let me know if you would like to make some personal statement in front of the Chase Bank Sat. late morning. My telephone number is 829-0800 and I will put you on the program.
We have almost 100 people signed up so far and expect scores more to Make them Pay. We call this International Day of Action and also Bank Transfer Day. Any of us who bank at one of the mega monster banks should, if at all possible, close their account by simply writing a check and placing the funds in a local bank or credit union. If you wish to make a bold statement, you can go right into your bank and let them know just why you are doing that.
We need you signs, noise-makers and energy to take our democracy back.
Here are some more suggestions and points you should know:
In less than a month, Bank of America went from announcing a new $5 monthly debit card fee, to canceling the fee hike after enormous pressure from angry consumers. Our event is one of hundreds of events nationwide, and this is our moment to amplify our demand to Make Wall Street Pay.
All the resources you'll need to lead a peaceful yet powerful event are in the Host Guide, and here are a few final reminders:
Hit the phones. It's critical to make reminder calls and emails to everyone who's registered for our event-it makes a huge difference in your final turnout. If you belong to a MoveOn Council, make a few phone calls today to invite local MoveOn members to your event using the Recruitment Tool. The tool is easy to use, and it allows Council members to call other members to personally invite them to your event.
We ask other MoveOn members to help. Be sure to check your Host Tools Page to see everyone who's RSVPed for your event-including folks who have offered to help out! If you can't make all the calls yourself, ask another MoveOn member to help.
Print signs and chant sheets. Make sure your event looks good visually by printing Make Wall Street Pay Action Signs for those attending. Also, chants are often a great energizer as the crowds and media gather. Check out a collection of Make Wall Street Pay Chants!
If you have any questions, please contact me (Jeff Kravat, 829-0800 or Gene and Sandy Lundergan, Regional Coordinators,(920- 532-8403) or email [log in to unmask]
Let's make the banksters hear us all the way to Wall Street.
Jeff Kravat
Madison MoveOn Council Coordinator
