It's Time For A New Way Forward

A New Way Forward:

Big bankers ruined our economy and now they are gaming the political system so they can profit even more off the crisis they caused. They must be stopped.

On April 11th, 2009, the public will come out in cities across the country to express their frustration and disapproval with how our elected officials have handled the economic crisis. No one has been left unscathed; this protest is yours.

We here at AlterNet are shocked by the banks' unabashed thievery and are proud to support A New Way Forward as they help organize rallies and creative actions all over the country on April 11th to bring attention to America's need for a progressive approach to economic recovery. We must come together and make sure Obama and Congress hear us before it's too late.

Pledge to take action on April 11th by signing your name to the petition below. After signing you will be provided with links that will help you find a protest near you.

This petition will be delivered to Congress, in coordination with A New Way Forward's campaign.

I Pledge to Take Action!

12 million unemployed. Foreclosures up 81%. Wall Street has taken over. We must break up the banks and never again let them get so big that they distort our politics and take down the economy.

If it's too big to fail, it's too big to exist. Dismantle the power of the financial elite and make policies that keep a new crop from springing up. We want our economy and politics restored for the public.
