Come out and make some noise with US Uncut and Brass Liberation Orchestra on Tax Day Weekend! Let's tell corporate tax dodgers (who avoid up to $100 Billion in taxes every year) that we're not going to stand for these budget cuts. They caused this crisis, now THEY need to PAY UP!

Time: 5pm - let's show the rush hour crowd how Uncutters like to make noise!

Who: All ages show - Bring friends, neighbors, grandparents, teachers, union workers, students, and all others who want to demand a halt to these cuts in the name of a fair and just society where the right to work, education and the health of citizens are valued over profits.

Bring: US Uncut posters; leaflets about US Uncut objectives (some will be available, but please make more if you can; Visit: http://usuncut.org/actions/materials for images and messages to print)

This will be a 100% peaceful protest to raise awareness and stand united against corporate tax dodgers and corruption. We encourage everyone to get involved, tell a friend and spread the word! Let's show the world that the people of San Francisco, from all walks of life stand together!

See you Friday!

US Uncut "Pay Up!" Flashmob at Bank of America 4/15/11 Action Report

US Uncut, in collaboration with The Ruckus Society and Brass Liberation Orchestra (BLO), kicked off Tax Day weekend (Friday afternoon 4/15/11) in San Francisco with a flashmob at Bank of America and told them to "PAY UP!"

Bank of America is the #1 largest bank and the 5th largest corporation in the U.S., but it pays less in taxes than the average American household! If they and their corporate tax dodger friends paid their fair share of taxes (like the rest of us), we wouldn't 'need' to slash community services in the budget.

It's time Bank of America pays their taxes! So we took action to tell them just that.

Dozens of activists took Bank of America employees by surprise downtown San Francisco Friday, by breaking out in a song and dance in the middle of the bank, to the tune of Salt-n-Pepa's classic hit, "Push It", re-mixed as "Pay Up!"

Check out the list of actions against Corporate Tax Dodgers happening around the country this Monday (http://usuncut.org/actions/list) and join a Tax Day action near you!

*Many thanks to our partners at The Ruckus Society for support throughout this action and for this action report!
