Protesters close down Oakland Wells Fargo branch


OAKLAND, Calif.&#8212;A downtown Oakland branch of Wells Fargo bank closed its doors for the day Saturday as immigrant rights protesters crowded the entrance to condemn the bank's ties to private companies that run immigrant detention centers. More than 100 protesters marched a block from the Occupy Oakland encampment to the bank branch Saturday morning. A few protesters briefly tussled with bank security guards who stood in front of the locked entrance. Police were on the scene but made no arrests.
Protesters holding signs such as "Divest now" and "Who would Jesus deport?" chanted "Who shut down the bank? We shut down the bank!" as several customers were turned away.
A handful of customers stuck inside when protesters converged were escorted out the back, said Jim Foley, Wells Fargo's regional president.
The demonstration comes on the same day as protesters across the nation urge people to close out their accounts at major banks. Oakland protesters on Saturday urged customers to close out their accounts because of Wells Fargo's investments in mutual funds that hold shares in companies that run centers where illegal immigrants are held before being deported.
The longstanding national campaign led by immigrant rights groups against the bank began well before the Occupy protests. But demonstration organizer Pablo Paredes said the cause presented a good way for the immigrant community to connect with the Occupy movement.

I tore up my credit cards back in the late 70s, I use a debit card but mostly cash for day to day stuff....
Sure my credit score sucks but fuck that if I don't have the money I don't need it, if it's more than what I have there's plenty of people that will loan me the money. But I never go to the bank. Shit you put your money in there they loan it out and make a ton off it and then charge me to use them to just hold my money????? FUCK THAT!!!!!!

I saw some anonymous stickers on a Wells Fargo ATM. I resisted the urge to tear them down. Did I do good?

They dont charge you to hold your money.... Its the opposite....
They give you interest on your money for depositing money with them.... with a bank account you shouldn't incur any fees..... Unless you chose an account that has mandatory minimums, or you overdraw your account... But then the fault lies with you not the bank... But there are accounts that dont have mandatory minimums they just have less interest, or just link two accounts together so when one balance drops the other will circumvent the Fee...

Its credit cards that are the problem....... The rules are unfair, The contracts are allowed to be changed at any time for any reason... It needs to be changed...

So that $5 a month charge isn't costing me?
The 1-2% they give me makes up for that??
And how much were they charging on interest from my money they loan out??

service charge, on 1 I had at a credit union they charged me $5 a month just because I didn't use the account for 3 months.

I guess ive just been lucky....
I have 1 savings and 1 checking with citi-... I have never been charged for anything....
I dont use checks (in case that matters) only debit card for online stuff... I have even had 0.00 balances in one acct for months while the other had some money in it....
They are linked though...... If i was getting charged i would close them probably immediately...

I just got a letter from chase. No more free checking. So what! Lots of "Free checking " accounts ....right? Wrong!!
Things are changing. Had to look real hard to even get close to free checking without a buttload of requirements

what were they charging you $5 bux a month for?
My now "old" account with Wells Fargo charged $8/monthly if you DIDN'T always have $25 in the account.
The time I was "going" to open with Bank of America, they wanted a minimum of $1,000/monthly regardless of credit.
In my opinion, that's charging someone to have an account.
Not everybody can afford to have $25 in there account, let alone $1,000, especially in this economy.

... An the banks know it, which is why they have it set up that way.
I'm letting them USE my money & they want to charge me?
Lmao, fuck banks, unless you absolutely need one.
