Photos of Zombie Bank Protest
The Zombie Bank protest Occupy Eugene held on Friday the 13th went amazingly well thanks to makeup artists, sign makers, artists, printers, furniture deliveries, medical suppliers, and of course the occupiers themselves.
While we were there, we handed out flyers to engage with people about how Bank of America has been bankrupting America as a Zombie Bank after it was resurrected from the dead by our government in 2008 with a 45 billion bailout.
Now many people are losing their homes to illegal foreclosures and they get $2,000, if any money at all as compensation for wrong doing on the bank’s part.
The protests will continue next week, with a special guest Max Rameau, author of Take Back the Land.
Have a look at some of the photos taken by our talented photographers.

Bank of America Protest
Protest against Bank of America’s corruption and blatant disregard for the people of America. They are economic terrorists and criminals. They need to be broken up, if not allowed to fail completely.
These are weekly protests, each Friday from 4:30 to 5:30 to attract the evening traffic BofA customers.
Educate the customers, encourage them to move their money to a credit union. Let Bank of America know what we think about their illegal foreclosures, discriminatory practices against minorities and that they are not respecting the laws that protect active duty service members. Let’s stop the bank that is too corrupt to survive!
Bring signs about foreclosures, robo-signing, MERS, excessive fees, free bailouts, corruption, greed, whatever you want!
Join us directly afterward at the Park Blocks, 8th & Oak, 6pm, for Occupy Eugene’s General Assembly and see what consensus democracy looks like!
When: Today, April 6, 4:30 – 5:30pm
Where: Bank of America, 11th & Pearl, Eugene.
This protest is planned by the Occupy Foreclosure Action Committee

Kesey Square Revival
“You don’t lead by pointing and telling people some place to go. You lead by going to that place and making a case.”
– Ken Kesey
Reclaim Kesey Square as a place for street artists, entertainers, friends and activists to gather as a community.
Since the breakup of the Washington Jefferson Park occupation site, many of the displaced homeless have been harassed by some within the Eugene Police Department.
They have been unfairly targeted, charged with small crimes, and then told they can’t return to a 20 block area surrounding Kesey Square.
This “Downtown Public Safety Zone” is being used to discriminate against the homeless. Alley Valkyrie demonstrates how easy it is to break these laws, and not get arrested because she doesn’t look homeless.
Join in every Friday, noonish to dusk-ish. Art vendors welome.
Where? Kesey Square, of course, Broadway & Willamette.
