F the Banks Stickers Found in Columbia Heights
June 13, 2012While walking along Park Road between 14th Street and 11th Street I noticed a series of anti-bank stickers on several of the streetlights and signs. They all had the url for fthebanks.org which, in checking the site out, is self described as a “group of Occupy Wall Street activists and members of the The Other 98% who are tired of Big Money speaking louder than our voices and votes.”
That said, I thought the parody of Monopoly cards was clever. Below are photos of the stickers I found. You can see the complete set here.
