Occupy Wall Street protesters will march to five banks in Manhattan on Friday and deliver thousands of letters to the companies ? in the form of a ?mass paper airplane throwing.?

Thousands of letters that were submitted to occupytheboardroom.org will be folded into paper airplanes, and at some of the banks, protesters will execute a ?mass paper airplane throwing event,? after which the planes will be collected in a large mailbag and left in the lobbies of the banks.

At another stop in their march, demonstrators will deliver a ?singing telegram? to the company?s CEOs by singing in unison the text of one of the letters. When the singing is over, protesters will once again try to leave letters in the lobby of the banks.

The march will end at the headquarters of JP Morgan and Chase, where protesters will hold a letter-reading activity, with JP Morgan boss Jamie Dimon as the intended target.

The plans come days after violence broke out in the Occupy movement in Oakland, Calif., when police swept through an encampment with tear gas and over 80 people were said to have been arrested, according to reports.

An Iraq War veteran was injured during the raid, taken to the hospital for a fractured skull. Occupy movements across the country have voiced their outcry about Scott Olsen, and held vigils for the veteran Thursday evening.
