The "Move Your Money" effort has now been covered on MSNBC and the Christian Science Monitor.

I haven't moved mine yet, but I have been checking things out.
I very much like that Franklin Bank has "Social Responsibility" as one of its main sections on its webpage. Unfortunately, its locations are not entirely convenient to me. I'd have to go to downtown Minneapolis.

Very nearby (within walking distance) is a credit union for people here in Anoka county.

The only reason I hesitate leaving Wells Fargo is because of their outreach to the GLBT community. Even here in the Twin Cities, I saw more than one advertisement from them in our local magazine this week. Still, though, the list of gay-friendly workplaces includes a lot of very familiar (and infamous) names. I shouldn't condone their harmful practices while congratulating their helpful ones, maybe?

I wish Franklin Bank had a branch in north Minneapolis. My choice would be easy. I could have my banking convenience and my social responsibility all in one place.
