SF Pride at Work/HAVOQ organized a Lady Gaga themed flash mob to protest Wells Fargo on January 7th. The crowd, many of them bedecked in sequins and hot pink, flooded into the Wells Fargo branch at Montgomery and Market to protest the bank's "role in the economic and housing crisis". The crowd danced on the floor and countertops, singing a re-worked version of Lady Gaga's "Telephone". Check out the video and lyrics below.
You may remember this group's handiwork from 2010, when they took up the cause of hotel workers, also organizing a Lady Gaga themed flash mob in the lobby of the Westin St. Francis. That video has 353,434 views on YouTube now.
