Tuesday, March 13, 6 p.m.

Water Street & Wisconsin Ave., Milwaukee, WI

Tuesday, March 13th, Occupy Milwaukee and Occupations across the country including Detroit, New York, Seattle, Oakland, and many more to “celebrate” the birthday of Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase & Co.

In Milwaukee, JPMorgan Chase & Co have foreclosed on over 20,000 homes, mostly in neighborhoods of color, after being a primary force in creating the subprime mortgage crisis in the first place. Among the largest spenders on lobbying and campaign contributions, JPMorgan Chase has opposed every financial regulation, been a proponent of every financial and offshore loophole imaginable, and have dozens of politicians on both sides of the aisle in their corporate pockets.

Right now, they are the subject of class action lawsuits related to their unscrupulous mortgage policies and shady business practices surrounding excessive overdraft fees and not offering overdraft protection to customers that didn’t go out of their way to request it.

Join Occupy Milwaukee and organizations around the country to tell JPMorgan Chase and Jamie Dimon that we won’t tolerate the foreclosure business as usual. People need houses, corporate persons don’t.
