Message from the Secretary-Treasurer
I recently had the chance to join Congressman Bob Filner to protest the Big Banks and their refusal to help put communities like San Diego back to work by lending money.
Middle class taxpayers bailed out the Big Banks when they were in trouble. But we haven't seen that generosity returned. Families in San Diego are still struggling to keep their homes, their jobs, and food on the table.
We will not recover from this recession until San Diegans are put back to work. Small businesses rely on bank loans to keep their doors open. Without the lending from banks, they cannot grow and create new jobs.
We will be back to protest the Big Banks on March 26 and we’ll continue to push them until they begin lending again to grow our economy. Stay tuned.
