Labor and Community Groups Call for a Week of Action to Demand Health Care, Jobs and Housing
Thousands expected to participate in over a dozen cities to mark the one-year anniversary of the bank bailouts.

Rallies across the country will condemn the "bailout bandits" and "corporate criminals" at Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup and Wells Fargo.
Actions will take place in at least 21 cities, and new cities are being added every week. See below for local contacts and find an up to day list of actions at www.jwj.org/recovery.
