Activists Occupy East Hampton Bank of America on Saturday

About 15 activists from descended upon the branch in East Hampton Village, briefly interrupting banking business on Saturday morning.

Larry Darcey of Sag Harbor, one of the organizers, said they were responding to the millions of home foreclosures. "We're motivated by the corruption of Bank of America and the suffering it causes around the country." 

With several activists standing outside with banners, 10 of the members entered the bank and started reading from a statement around 10:45 a.m. Darcey said bank employees soon locked the doors.

"We had no intention of shutting it down. I'm kind of confused as to why they shut the doors," he said.

Activists from Occupy Wall Street and victims of home foreclosures began demonstrating at Bank of America shareholder meetings in Charlotte, N.C., earlier this month, according to the Huffington Post.

The same statement, on behalf of the 99 percenters, was read by several members and was "a spoof" on Bank of America foreclosures and evictions, Darcey said. Protestors demanded the letter be faxed to Brian T. Moynihan, Bank of America's President and CEO.

"Please vacate the premises immediately. Your personal possessions will be removed and sold at auction...In addition, we demand that Bank of America cease and desist all pending actions related to eviction or foreclosure, regardless of cause," the statement read, according to a blog that posted the notice. 

The statement made mention of the .

"This customer is one of hundreds of multimillionaire 1 percenters whose predatory behavior, in conjunction with the perfidy of the banks, have reduced our community and our nation to a state of permanent austerity and suffering. Bank of America has similar customers with similar balances. We therefore demand that Bank of America establish a fund in the amount of $100 million—the balance of one checking account—in order to serve the immediate needs of the hardest-hit residents of the East End of Long Island," the statement said.

Darcey said the protest went very smoothly. "I think all this is leading toward some change."
