Here are two videos we produced, in coalition with the LeftBay99 Media Team & Iftiin Productions, which capture some of the magic and power of this historic day of action.

On October 12, 2011, a group of community members blocked the entrances of the Wells Fargo Corporate Headquarters in downtown San Francisco.
