idge the Gap: March for Jobs and Racial Equity on November 17
While our bridges and infrastructure crumble, Minnesota has one of the worst racial job gaps in the country—with 22% of African Americans unemployed.
look at what Iceland has done after their crisis. We could do that.
Iceland’s LEADERS passed effective legislation reinstating banking regulations that had been lost (which led to the crisis). Our legislators are in the pocket of Big Finance.
I would have loved to see Obama introduce such legislation. Didn’t happen. Won’t happen. We the 99% have no method of passing legislation directly. This day of action, we can do by exerting our natural rights.
Personally, I’m going to promote Participism. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Participism
The protests in Gent and across Germany take place in the context of the “Global Weeks of Action for Education”: http://ism-global.net/coordinations_november2011
As you can see, there will also be massive protests against the increasing commercialisation of education and for free emancipatory education in 80 cities across Italy, in 13 cities across Indonesia and also in Cairo, various cities in Spain, in Sofia, Tampere, Warsaw as well as Vienna.

OCCUPY EVERYWHERE – TOGETHER!! all are invited! http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=219770438092693
Occupying the subways is NOT going to help. That is far more likely to impede and bother the very people who have been impacted by Wall Street shenanigans and will not cause them to look kindly on the movement.
I understand your point Ian M. However, Real Noise needs to be made, we the people can not give up/give in….if the subway people are not with us they are against us….either join, or get knocked down/dont take the train!!!
If Rosa Parks would of given up her seat, if King would not of marched, no changes would have been made in the civil rights era….plus the 99% are marching/occupying for the people/workers who take the subways/trains to these underpaid a** jobs/ over paid universities & city colleges etc…..so people who are not apart of this movement need get out the way, or join
“If you’re not with us, you’re against us”? Therefore, you will knock people down? Do you realize what an intolerant *fascist* you sound like? Yeah, that’s non-violent – forcing people to think like you do and if they don’t? Threaten physical harm against them. Wow. You’re just as bad as the 1% you are fighting!
This is why OWS is sinking in the polls…insane attitudes like yours!
PS Rosa Parks never threatened anyone, obstructed them, or knocked anyone down. She simply took her seat on the front of the bus. Don’t sully her name with your sad justification of thought-bullying!
Keep up the good work guys!!
