A movement is growing in Oregon to hold banks accountable for their bad business practices and you can take part in it.
If big corporate banks will not work with homeowners to keep them in their homes and out of foreclosure then we need to stop supporting those banks.
Through foreclosure and empty homes our communities are blighted, further decreasing property values and available money for public services like schools. Big banks have been acting without care for the community even after our tax dollars bailed them out. Big banks are making record profits, while evicting struggling families from their homes. Now they are imposing fees to use OUR OWN money!
It’s time to send a clear message to the banks that we are no longer going to support their bad business. That is why we put together this online guide to help people through the process of divesting from big banks and investing in local financial institutions.
The process is pretty straightforward but requires some attention to detail. We have included a slide presentation and a printed guide as well as other resources to help you through the process. When you are done tell us how it went by clicking here.
