Nurses Call for Tax on Wall Street to Heal America
Nurses, who every day care for the casualties of the economic crisis driven by Wall Street greed, plan to hold a rally in Dewey Square at the site of the Occupy Boston Protest, to show their support for the movement and to highlight the Massachusetts Nurses Association/National Nurses United’s “Main Street Contract” campaign for a tax on Wall Street financial speculation to provide revenue for Main Street reforms, including jobs at living wages, quality education, guaranteed health care for all, and freedom from hunger, homelessness, and retirement insecurity.
The action is part of the opening day activities of the Massachusetts Nurses Association/National Nurses United 2011 Convention (October 5-7), being held at the Boston Marriott in Newton. Hundreds of nurses from all corners of the Commonwealth will board buses at the event and head to the rally at 3 pm
What: Nurses Rally to Support Occupy Boston
When: Wednesday, October 5, 2011 at 3 pm
Where: Site of Protest in Dewey Square, Outside South Station

Woot, I emailed the MNA last week, and clearly it was my email that got their support, lol….
Anyways, I’ve been thinking…and I’m thinking ahead to around mid April, say, the 3rd Sunday in April, for a MASSIVE rally on the Mall in Washington DC. Given the high degree of organization going on right now, if we start organizing an April Rally right now, we could get THREE MILLION PEOPLE there, and notable speakers.
Imagine that….
Hey there..just tried to share this on my fb wall and it is GInormous..anyway to fix the size??

I’m sure you would get a larger turn out if you would post an advance schedule.
the NON-Federal, Federal Reserve is the real problem.
