Demonstrators rally their support for Bank Transfer Day [November 5, 2011] and the Occupy movement under the shadow of the Bank of America and Wells Fargo building in the financial district in downtown Los Angeles. On this particular day, the Occupy movement called on the 99% to transfer their money from big banks to credit unions.  Several hundred supporters listened to speakers, danced to drums and chanted. Following the speeches, the protestors marched north on Grand Avenue making their way to City Hall, a center of the Occupy LA movement.
