DENVER—More than a thousand people marched through downtown Denver to protest Wells Fargo bank, saying it has a lower federal tax rate than many working-class taxpayers.
Police blocked traffic from streets in the marchers’ path from a Wells Fargo building to the Colorado Convention Center a few blocks away.
The marchers chanted, “Pay your fair share.” The protesters did not try to enter the bank, which locked its doors.
The protest was staged by a coalition of left-leaning groups including representatives from the Colorado AFL-CIO, the Sierra Club and ProgressNow Colorado.
The protesters also accuse the bank of improperly foreclosing on some homes.
Wells Fargo has been a frequent target lately of protest from left-leaning activists. The bank has said the protesters’ ire is misplaced.
