The Fighting Foreclosures Coalition gathered a diverse crowd of at least 100 enthusiastic people participated for a
picket and rally in front of Wachovia Bank at Peachtree and 10th street this
morning, including a big contingent from the Communications Workers of
America, most of the other coalition member organizations, and 10 or 12 DSA
members.
Media covering the event included all 4 major TV channels, AJC, Atlanta
Inquirer, Atlanta Progressive News, and another online news outlet.
A delegation attempted to present a letter to Wachovia/Wells Fargo
management but were turned away - no surprise. There were no unpleasant
incidents.
Where do we go from here? We promised that Wachovia is only one of many
banks that need to be held accountable (in fact the problem is systemic, as
we know) so our work is not done. . . .
