Go Fire Your Bank!

Go Fire Your Bank was created by concerned citizens who believe in local, socially-responsible economies.  We do not represent any financial institutions. We wish to:

• Encourage people to remove their money from big corporate banks and put it into local banks or credit unions, with the idea that a local institution will be more accountable to the community and circulate the money in the local economy.
• Provide a downloadable pink slip with which individuals may fire their big banks.
• Offer a meaningful accountability list to Portland, Oregon citizens of local banks and credit unions.
• Serve as a model in this regard for other communities to create their own community banking lists.
• Suggest to the public that they watchdog the impacts of their bucks.
