On Tuesday, Senator Elizabeth Warren fired up the crowd with an impassioned speech highlighting the Take On Wall Street campaign, Reps. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.) and Mark Pocan (D-Wisc.) spoke powerfully about stopping the TPP, and activists participated in a panel on fighting for a fair economy.

"The banks caused the worst financial crisis in three generations," Senator Warren said. "They cost jobs, they cost homes, they cost pensions. But they're doubling down on lawyers and lobbyists and trying to open more loopholes. The good news is, as we showed with Dodd-Frank and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, millions of activists can stand up to Wall Street and win.
