Make The Banks Pay! We Want Quality Education for the 99%!

Did you know that JP Morgan Chase collected $100.7 billion in taxpayer bailout money and has made 40.1 billion in profit since the bailout?

Did you know that Chase has more foreclosures on the books than any other bank in the country, processes 18,000 "robo-signing" foreclosures a month, and was twice as likely to give subprime loans to Black and Latino buyers?

Did you know that banks that refuse to clean up blighted properties, pay property taxes, and lend local governments taxpayer money at high interest rates cost cities like Los Angeles millions in taxpayer money? And that this money is robbed from potential education funds for our kids?

JOIN SOCIAL JUSTICE EDUCATORS FROM ACROSS LOS ANGELES, THEIR PARENTS, AND STUDENTS in a "Make the Banks Pay" action.
