NJCA will Picket Goldman Sachs in Jersey City on November 24

NJ Citizen Action (NJCA), the state's largest citizen watchdog organization is sponsoring an Informational Picket to urge Goldman Sachs to donate its $23 Billion in anticipated bonuses to foreclosure prevention programs, increase lending and donations to small businesses for job creation, and to stop fighting real financial reform. Goldman Sachs still owes $53 Billion to the Taxpayers and yet they are back to making record profits and paying out mega bonuses while millions of regular folks are suffering from job losses, foreclosures and depleted pensions caused by the financial meltdown.

Members of NJCA will be joined by members of the public and members of other New Jersey organizations that have joined Americans for Financial Reform, a coalition of more than 200 national, state and local groups spearheading a campaign for real reform in our banking and financial services system. A new report by Public Citizen, which breaks down contributions from the financial services industry to members of Congress and their political action committees will also be released.

What: Informational Picket on Goldman Sachs' benefits from bailout money and a Press Conference to Release Report on Financial Industry Campaign Contributions
