A coalition led by PICO is pressuring the Bank of America to improve their home loan modification program and reduce foreclosures, or face massive cash withdrawals. Here's the NY Times article, and here's the Huffington Post version. They're meeting with BofA execs tonight.
There's also a secular group called "Move Your Money" that's taking on all the big banks, and encouraging people to do their banking in small, local banks. Time to re-watch It's a Wonderful Life?
BTW, PICO looks like an interesting organization - though it doesn't seem to be active in Ohio. Out our way, it's DART. Congregation-based community organizing groups like these are endorsed by the UCC.
