An estimated 500 protesters marched on Bank of America headquarters and Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte today during the company’s shareholder meeting. Their goal? To do away with foreclosures, corporate greed, and pretty much anything else that popped into their heads.
Participants in today’s protest include Occupy Charlotte, Unity Alliance, 99% Power, and Occupy groups from other cities.

But media coverage seems to be overlooking the participation of Occupiers. Fancy that.

Organizers are calling the protest “Showdown in Charlotte.”
