I looked and I didn't see a thread on this particular subject, so I decided to start one here. I want to have a place to specifically discuss the Occupy Wall Street movement, rallys, and how it is spreading across the nation.
Here is their newly voted on platform/declaration: Quote:
What do you all think about the Occupy Wall Street movement and it's message? |

I am thrilled that this is happening!
I don't know a lot about what/how is happening, so I am going to support these actions until I have a compelling reason not to (and first-hand account from someone I trust).

much better than the rioting that was the reaction here.
I'm rally glad people are shouting and calling attention. I hate the media barely covers it. I've seen nothing about it except on FB and it's a massive movement. Thanks for posting!! |

I also was thrilled when I saw this happening over the week end. I was tempted to drive to New York and get involved. THIS is ssomething I feel very strongly about.
My wishing upon a star has been answered. There is a TOWN meeting scheduled for Saturday to inform willing participants of the mission and what to expect. I also checked, a permit has been applied for, and recieved, for a peaceful demonstration on the 15th, in the center of the business district. I WILL BE THERE! |

There's hope in the air. Finally. People are beginning to stand up together. Together is strength.
Here is an article about the American Dream Movement and Van Jones and his take on the Occupy Wall Street protests. http://www.alternet.org/vision/15261...n_epic_battle/ If you are in NYC this might be something you don't want to miss. OccupyWallStreet Union March From Foley Square on Wall Street Posted Oct. 4, 2011, 8:36 p.m. EST by OccupyWallSt On October 05, 2011, at 3:00 in the afternoon the residents of Liberty Square will gather to join their union brothers and sisters in solidarity and march. At 4:30 in the afternoon the 99% will march in solidarity with #occupywallstreet from Foley Square to the Financial District, where their pensions have disappeared to, where their health has disappeared to. Together we will protest this great injustice. We stand in solidarity with the honest workers of: AFL-CIO (AFSCME) United NY Strong Economy for All Coalition Working Families Party TWU Local 100 SEIU 1199 CWA 1109 RWDSU Communications Workers of America CWA Local 1180 United Auto Workers United Federation of Teachers Professional Staff Congress - CUNY National Nurses United Writers Guild East And: VOCAL-NY Community Voices Heard Alliance for Quality Education New York Communities for Change Coalition for the Homeless Neighborhood Economic Development Advocacy Project (NEDAP) The Job Party NYC Coalition for Educational Justice The Mirabal Sisters Cultural and Community Center The New Deal for New York Campaign National People's Action ALIGN Human Services Council Labor-Religion Coalition of New York State Citizen Action of NY MoveOn.org Common Cause NY New Bottom Line 350.org Tenants & Neighbors Democracy for NYC Resource Generation Tenants PAC Teachers Unite Together we will voice our belief that the American dream will live again, that the American way is to help one another succeed. Our voice, our values, will be heard. Here is a list of past present and future #occupy cities. OccupyTogether.org probably has a more updated list but the site seems to be down. At least I can't log on at the moment. So I took this list from a blog: [http://october2011.org/blogs/kevin-z...ccupy-together An article that some might find interesting. http://blogs.alternet.org/speakeasy/...o-the-streets/

I closed all my accounts with my bank jan. 2010 after 30 years with them. And you know, they never even asked me why. I joined a credit union and they sent me a $2.00 bill and welcomed me to a different way to handle your money. Which prompted me to write a nasty gram to the banking institution I was with for 30 years for never asking WHY I left. LOVE LOVE LOVE the credit union and the SHARED services.

I fully support any show of opposition to bankers (globally) who, for their own benefit, continue to bring misfortune to the average person (globally). I think it's great this is starting to get more press, the more press the better. Maybe people will start thinking instead of following the status quo.

Here in Chicago "the greedy pig crisis" is also picking up steam. There were only 100-200 people, but there were more positive reactions coming from evryday folks just passing through like bus and cab drivers, honking, and cheering. My favorite were the sanitation crew who were drumming and dancing on the back of their garbage trucks lol! "Truth may have a wretched existence, but lives longer than a lie."-Anon

When I went to bed, there were a couple comments in this thread.
By morning, it had multiplied and spread. I'm so charged that this is happening and people are beginning to question the concentration and abuse of power. Fight Club is another one that offers some response to dehumanizing corporatization. The metaphors and allegories are there. |

Perhaps they shouldn't bother. Here is an article about CNN's show OutFront's coverage by Erin Burnett. Check out some of the clickable links in the article. The second link shows a clip of her interviewing some guy at Occupy Wall St. Another is an article by economist Dean Baker speaking to this new line of crap we are being fed about how the bailouts were actually good for us.
