Iowans Confront the Big Banks

Hundreds of members of Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement (CCI)  
took over the Des Moines offices of Wells Fargo and Bank of America
to demand they give back their bonuses to fill gaping state budget
shortfalls hurting everyday Iowans, chanting "Bust up big banks!" and
"Put the people first!"


This protest was part of CCI's Showdown at the Statehouse,
where CCI members called on elected officials to stand on the side of
everyday people, rein in corporate power and greed (factory farms,
payday lenders)
, stop balancing the state budget on the backs of
everyday people and stand up for campaign finance reform.

Watch this fun video of everyday people directly challenging the big banks!
