It was a beautiful day to speak the truth on the streets of San Francisco as what is being called the shareholder Spring sprung into action.  CCISCO worked with a large coalition of faith, labor and community organizations to form the 99% Power coalition as more than 1500 of us marched through the streets of San Francisco, more than 200 activist shareholders and proxies trained for the meeting from 15 states, 40 clergy prayed for Wells Fargo to change their ways, and we received media coverage from throughout the world.  

As people of faith we feel it is important that we raise our prophetic voices when injustices are committed against any people.  As the Revrand Dr. Richard Smith from the Episcopal Church of St. John's in San Francisco stated at the rally sponsored by SFOP/ CCISCO and PICO National at the beginning of the protest, "At this time the San Francisco area faith leaders welcome you and all the shareholders of Wells Fargo to end your current unjust, unethical, family hurting practices.  We invite you to resurrect a new Wells Fargo, with new life giving practices throughout the country like: enacting widespread principal reductions on homes that are underwater, ending low cost loans to immigrant detention centers, reforming the pay day loan industry, paying your fair share in taxes and supporting the California Home Owners Bill of Rights, instead of lobbying against it."
