Dozens of anti-Wall Street protesters marched through downtown Indianapolis, chanting slogans and holding signs berating the nation's banks following a rally where they urged people to shift their money from banks to credit unions.

About 80 protesters marched from the Statehouse to Monument Circle, pausing outside two banks to chant "This is democracy in action!"

Saturday's march was part of the Occupy Wall Street movement's push to get people to transfer their money to credit unions to protest the multibillion-dollar profits banks have enjoyed since receiving federal bailout funds.

Plainfield resident Stacy Seiler marched with her 10-year-old daughter. She says if enough people shift their money to credit unions "the banks are going to feel it." She's still looking for a credit union near her home to move her money.
