Hundreds of anti-Wall Street demonstrators marched through downtown Los Angeles' financial district Wednesday, ending their march at a Bank of America branch, where several dozen protesters put up tents in the lobby and on a brick plaza outside, organizers said.
Demonstrators, who sang and chanted as they filled the lobby with about 15 tents, told bank officials and police they wouldn't leave until a letter was faxed to Monica Lozano, a Bank of America board member and publisher of La Opinion, said Amy Schur, an organizer with the Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment.

"We want her to be our champion," Schur said. "We've all joined together to say let's make them pay: big banks, big corporations, the wealthy."
When bank officials returned with a fax receipt, the protesters left the lobby, she said.
