It was a busy day for Chicago-based National People's Action, the organizers behind the Showdown in America campaign. Earlier this afternoon, the group swung by Chicago's Federal Reserve Bank for a public regulatory hearing about the Community Reinvestment Act, which housing and consumer advocates want to see updated and modernized.
Earlier in the day, NPA also paid a visit to the headquarters of Bank of America. The protesters delivered a letter to Brian Moynihan, the CEO of the humongous financial institution, requesting the bank divest from payday lending institutions and invest more capital into foreclosure prevention programs and small businesses. After all, BoA has its hand in a plurailty of Chicago's home foreclosures. Watch a clip from the event below:
