Regions Financial Corporation is a publicly held company based in Birmingham, Alabama, USA, with the corporate headquarters at the Regions Center.
This is where Occupy Birmingham camps.
This is why-
In 2008, Regions Bank received a $3.5 billion loan as part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). As of November 2011, Regions has not repaid the loan and owes the most of any financial institution that received TARP funding.
Every year the building that Regions Bank now occupies, formerly an Amsouth property, blesses the downtown skyline with a splash of color and yuletide cheer.
This year the view on our side is the Tree (others include wreath, candy cane); and I would like to negotiate a better use of corporate profits (also less money on geriatric security guards): Pay us back. "One penny dividend" your obligation.
We are here until our questions are answered, no more lies. We are Occupy Birmingham
You'll find us underneath the Christmas Tree. Surprise
