Boston, MA [11/30/11] The Occupy Boston Movement is holding a city wide day of action this Saturday December 3, 2011. The day will begin at 10 am with neighborhood specific actions to engage the diverse populations of our city. These actions include, but are not limited to, a demonstration against the practices of the Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) Department at the JFK Federal Building on New Sudbury Street, a speak out on Climate Justice outside of the Park Street train station, and the dissemination of literature on the shortcomings of our health care system at Coolidge Corner in Brookline.
Following the actions, participants will converge at Copley Square at 1:00pm for a general “speak out” featuring the voices of the 99%. The purpose of the day is to offer opportunities for meaningful actions to address economic injustice and to bring the community together to celebrate our strength and unity.
WHAT: Occupy Movement Day of Action and speak out of the 99%
WHEN: Saturday, December 3, 2011, 10 am

You are the 99%. Join us.

Occupy Boston started in Dewey Square on September 30, 2011. It was directly inspired by, and we stand in solidarity with, our brothers and sisters at Occupy Wall Street in New York City. The continued occupation of Dewey Square—located outside of South Station in the heart of Boston’s Financial District—is one of more than 120 Occupy encampments in cities across the nation and is a symbol for people everywhere who support real and lasting change. While these different occupations share many goals and attitudes, they each operate independently, and there is no national organization that can speak for all occupations.

Maybe hand out reprints of the Bloomberg Magazine article that’s linked in today’s morning Digest.
It goes to the core of Occupy’s message, and it’s not getting the news coverage that it should. (Those reporters should win the Pulitzer, in my opinion.)
The back-room, secret deals brought to light in that report do not happen in a Democracy.
Stephen,
It would be a great opportunity missed to connect with the “99%” on the core topics. If there is a rally, and you truly want to rally supporters then in the spirit of the recent OB Declaration focus on the money in politics and corporate greed topic.
.
I agree with Paul – print out the Declaration and the Bloomberg articles and you will unify the 99% – explaining that this is why we are occupying, will you support us, join us?
.
Use the posted ‘FACT of the DAY’ –
“You Can’t Evict an Idea! (OWS message)
You Can’t Evict Our Outrage!” (OB message – concrete, focused on the CORE issues!)
– Think TARP was bad? Bloomberg Magazine recently revealed that the Federal Reserve secretly backed U.S. banks to the tune of $7.7 trillion during the financial crisis, allowing the banks to reap billions in direct profits. At the same time, former Goldman Sachs CEO and then Secretary Treasury Hank Paulson was illegally giving insider information to hedge fund friends, allowing them to profit from the financial collapse.”
