Break Up the Big Banks and #OccupyCitibank

[This is an announcement from some Occupy Wall Street folks in support of an action tomorrow, 12/18/14. I am one of the signatories.]

Occupy Wall Street is an idea whose time has come. And those of us inspired and awakened by this idea that our government should serve all of us, not only the 1%, have never stopped organizing to hold Wall Street accountable. Towards these ends, a group of us are now coming together to demand that Citibank be broken up.

Recently a number of groups have stepped up to call for an action on Thursday outside Citibank in New York City. This is in solidarity with Senator Elizabeth Warren's call last week to break up the biggest banks.

As activists and organizers who have helped shape and elevate the narrative around inequality and inform America about Wall Street rigging the system against the 99%, we know better than to hitch an entire movement to the coattails of one politician.

We also know that the mood in this country is on our side, and it's the right thing to do to push a main street agenda forward as creatively and as rapidly as possible.

The time to act is now.
