dendroica: Dozens of Occupy Wall Street activists spread out to protest at banks and other New York City businesses today to mark International Workers Day, or May Day. Protesters gathered at Bryant Park in Manhattan and prepared to march to financial institutions including Chase, Citibank and Bank of America. Police in riot gear lined the front of Bank of America on West 42nd Street, facing several dozen Occupy activists marching behind police barricades. “Bank of America, bad for America!” they chanted. Julian Kliner, 22, said their main issue with the banking giant is “how many people the Bank of America foreclosed as a result of predatory lending.” He said the bank also financed projects that were environmentally questionable.
