As Occupy Wall Street protests continue, a San Jose grassroots group takes different route

Organizers of Wednesday's anti-Wall Street protest in San Francisco got what they wanted after surrounding the Wells Fargo Bank corporate headquarters and blocking its entrances: 11 demonstrators arrested and plenty of headlines.

In New York, police arrested four people outside JP Morgan Chase offices, where protesters called in vain for a meeting with Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon.
But on the same day in San Jose, a different kind of protest was getting real -- and permanent -- results.
The Occupy Wall Street movement that began almost four weeks ago in Manhattan has spilled across the country, with outposts growing daily around the Bay Area to fight corporate greed and rampant unemployment.

At the heart of their argument are the banks that helped create the nation's economic crisis -- in particular banks that received federal bailouts while foreclosing on homeowners, many of whom had lost their jobs. Some of those same banks have recently announced plans to charge monthly fees for debit card users.
