Hundreds say "Enough is Enough!" to Treasury and Goldman 


Goldman Sachs actionNovember 16, 2009 - Americans brought the spirit and message of the Showdown in Chicago to Washington D.C. today, with actions at the U.S. Treasury and Goldman Sachs’ Capitol Hill headquarters. 

Check out photos and videos from the events.

At the U.S. Treasury, Mitzi Rivers-Singleton from Sunflower Community Action in Kansas tried to get Secretary Tim Geithner’s attention with chants that echoed off the Bank of America building across the plaza from Treasury – “Bust up big banks! Bailouts? No thanks!” and “Who got the money money, the banks got the money money…we got the bill!”

At Goldman Sachs, National People’s Action was joined by allies from SEIU, Public Citizen, Americans for Financial Reform, National Community Reinvestment Coalition and several other organizations, to demand Goldman Sachs CEO, Lloyd Blankfein, be a hero this holiday season and donate their bonus pool to halt foreclosures and stop lobbying against common sense financial reform.

Leaders delivered a letter to Goldman Sachs with a list of demands from the American people, and with a very clear and final message:  

NPA will continue to pay visits to Goldman Sachs and the Treasury as often as it takes until they put an end to big bank greed and start siding with the American people.  Enough is enough!
