Wells Fargo is America’s worst bank.

To avoid the fury of just about everyone, Wells Fargo moved their annual shareholder meeting this year to Des Moines, Iowa.

Well, they can run but they can’t hide. We're urgently need your help to make this bigger.

Iowa is home to People’s Action member Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement. People’s Action and Iowa CCI will be inside (we bought shares and got proxies) and outside Wells Fargo’s shareholders meeting to fight for change.

We’re demanding that the Wells Fargo board of directors and CEO step down. They have overseen scandal after scandal. It’s time for new leadership and a new direction.

You can help us stop Wells Fargo from profiting off prisons, funding big oil and their pipelines, bankrolling the NRA and gun makers, predatory lending, tax dodging, defrauding customers and polluting our democracy.

Wells Fargo is the official bank of the NRA. After the horrific shootings in Newtown, Connecticut at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Wells Fargo doubled down on guns. Since 2012, Wells Fargo is the number one lender to the gun industry with $431.1 million in loans and bonds.

Wells Fargo’s financial products have hurt millions of people. No one is safe from their predatory scams. Not veterans, students, homeowners, or car owners. In the most recent scandal, Wells Fargo opened 3.5 million accounts in customers’ names without telling them. Wells Fargo has financed $120 million of the Dakota Access Pipeline. Wells Fargo finances private prison giants GEO Group and Corrections Corporation of America.
