Great News!

Good news! Angie Lathrop, National Office of Community Affairs for Bank of America, contacted MORE and promised to come from Washington D.C. to St. Louis to meet with local housing counselings to discuss their servicing practices!

We got great coverage for the first day! We also have quite a few folks doing their own coverage! Pictures and YouTube videos are being posted on Facebook also, which is great! Thanks so much for everyone's work.

Great video from David May:

Video from Bank of America Lobby

Following up on the previous post, here's some video from inside the lobby of Bank of America. Protesters went inside and called for Jack Shackett, Bank of America's Credit Loss Mitigations Strategies Executive, to come out and speak to two people whose houses are being foreclosed. Bank of America, after the economic crises causes by banks, was bailed out with of billions of dollars of taxpayer money, yet is continuing to take peoples homes at a staggering rate. You'd think a company that received that much help from the taxpayers would show a little compassion.



Protesters occupied the lobby for nearly an hour before returning to the People's Settlement at the Citygarden.

Bank of America Action a Success!
