This podcast features one group of community activists headed from the Northwest Bronx in New York to Chicago for the "Showdown in Chicago," as well as the perspective of National People’s Action Executive Director George Goehl. The group, long frustrated with the bank's propensity to ignore low-income communities like the Northwest Bronx, are protesting the American Bankers Association convention and demanding that Congress create oversight, accountability and common-sense financial reform that helps the people.
