The economic crisis and collapse of Wall Street has created financial hardship found all across Ohio. Middle class families are struggling to provide for their loved ones, pay their mortgage, and put gas in their cars. Many have lost their jobs and even their homes. The greed of Wall Street has caused considerable damage to Ohio. The middle class are currently being asked to sacrifice while Wall Street and the state's largest banks continue to post record profits.
JP Morgan, who is one of Ohio's largest banks, is having their annual shareholder meeting in Columbus. This bank has paid out $28 billion dollars in bonuses, benefits, and compensation. As Ohio faces a revenue crisis, forcing healthcare benefits to be cut and social services to be eliminated, they continue to post record profits, enough to cover the budget gaps of 31 states.
Ohioans will not stand for this. This is why we are asking you to please join us and special guest SEIU International President Mary Kay Henry in protest of this annual greed fest on Tuesday May 17th. The program will feature political partners, a speaker, and testimony from community group leaders.
Please join us May 17th in standing up to JP Morgan and the big banks who continue to profit at the expense of the middle class.
