Thursday November 17th International Day of Action
On Thursday November 17th, the two month anniversary of the Occupy Wall Street movement, we call upon the 99% to participate in a national day of direct action and celebration!
New York City BREAKFAST: Shut Down Wall Street - 7:00 a.m.
Enough of this economy that exploits and divides us. It's time we put an end to Wall Street's reign of terror and begin building an economy that works for all. We will gather in Liberty Square at 7:00 a.m., before the ring of the Trading Floor Bell, to prepare to confront Wall Street with the stories of people on the frontlines of economic injustice. There, before the Stock Exchange, we will exchange stories rather than stocks.
LUNCH: Occupy The Subways - 3:00 p.m.
We will start by Occupying Our Blocks! Then throughout the five boroughs, we will gather at 16 central subway hubs and take our own stories to the trains, using the "People's Mic".

DINNER: Take The Square - 5:00 p.m.
At 5 pm, tens of thousands of people will gather at Foley Square (just across from City Hall) in solidarity with laborers demanding jobs to rebuild this country's infrastructure and economy. A gospel choir and a marching band will also be performing.
Afterwards we will march to our bridges. Let's make it as musical a march as possible - bring your songs, your voice, your spirit! Our "Musical" on the bridge will culminate in a festival of light as we mark the two-month anniversary of the #occupy movement, and our commitment to shining light into our broken economic and political system.
Resist austerity. Rebuild the economy. Reclaim our democracy.
Gonna take a little more than molotovs to take down NYC. Say what you will about the 9/11 hijackers but at least they had the gumption to go get flying lessons and do a little planning beforehand. Real go-getters those folks; the youth of today could learn a few things from them.
These people would have never been a problem if we have allowed nature to cull the herd in the first place by not placing all of these idiotic safety nets.
The dems and their allies, the unions and left-wing groups are completely behind them. This is going to backfire spectacularly as obama and the dems get tied to the hip with this bunch of do-nothings.
Obama started this, with his class warfare inflammatory rhetoric, pitting one segment of society against another. We have never seen a president do such a thing to this country.

I hope you will remember, when your job goes away that there were people fighting for your right to work. You didn't support them and time went on and the middle class was expunged. You weren't needed as a worker because the job producers used offshore labor and you weren't needed as a consumer because the consumer goods producers made their sales in export markets. Legally. Maybe you dodged the layoff bullet yourself being already retired but when your adult children came back home and things start getting real tight, I sure hope you will recall how you felt about the beginnings of a resistance movement.

Geez, most of them are clueless students and trust fund babies.

One person? That's a laugh. Was it "one" person at occupy oakland that attacked police and vandalized private property?
One person surely is not responsible for ALL the violent behavior we have seen from OWS.

Yeah! And was it one German that bombed Pearl Harbor? Geez, these people don't know nuttin', huh?
When it costs real money for protestors to protest... they will flee... transportation ain't free and neither is lodging... nor is food or laundry service.... the OWS is only the road to reality... where protesting actually requires more than just hanging around... its going to cost money.. of which, they aren't going to spend a dime on...
