In early March 2012 a crew of intrepid occupiers made a home in a New York City Bank of America branch lobby with a couch, a coffee table, a rug and a potted plant. They commented that “Bank of America took our homes so we thought we’d move in here!” On March 15, 2012, this toilet seat figured prominently in a massive rally that occupied the street outside the branch (pictured below).
