Volunteers needed!

We need volunteers to help set-up Facebook pages for the following states:

AK
AL
CA
CT
DC
MD
MI
NE
NY
OH
PA
TX
VA
WA

These are the states where the main actions are planned. The most actions are planned in California (4). The states where the first two are planned are in TX and AK.

If you would like to organize for an action please set up an Occupy The Economy facebook page and invite as many people in your area that you can who are able to go.

You will need volunteers to bring tents, and facilitators for large General Assemblies.

You may need to set-up in public spaces nearby, or at the corporations headquarters. You may also need people to explain to the police that we are picketing and protesting on behalf of the whole 99% because the structure of our workplaces and hence our economy is inherently unjust.

We the people do not have to submit to the domination and rule of the 1%, whose values of greed and competition for self-gain are destroying the planet.

We want a horizontal economy with cooperation and mutual benefit in harmony with the earth. We want power dispersed and horizontal instead of concentrated and hierarchical. Rise up this Global Spring.

We need your help, this will not work without you.

Please join our calls on Friday’s for local volunteers.

 

Occupy The Economy!

When we occupied public spaces we were protesting, but if we occupy a corporations headquarters then are we picketing?

If there are ways to protect the occupations under picketing and labor laws, that would be extremely useful.

We are looking for legal ideas on this, perhaps even saying we are a union on behalf of the 99% if that can protect the encampments. If anyone knows someone who knows about labor/protest law please join the call for organizers this Wednesday @ 7 PM ET!
