Many Occupations face Evictions, Plan the Next Step.

Tuesday, 7 February, 2012 in Movement Updates

occupy_miami_evacuation_photos_by_carlos_miller

(Portland) Maine, Pittsburgh, Miami, Austin, D.C. dealing with Evictions.
How are they facing it, what’s the next step?.

Is it the fear of a true American Spring—fear of the People’s commitment to radicalize and make sustainable our future—that has moved the guard of the elite to close more and more occupations? Their ability to do so, generally without massive public outcry, suggests that we need to be prepared for the response from what has become a not so subtle and well funded machine of propaganda and obedience.

Sunday, 5 February, 2012 in Occupy KC News, Updates

All Souls ForumMembers of Occupy KC spoke this morning at the All Souls Forum—an open forum at All Souls Unitarian church which has continued every Sunday for nearly 70 years. It was a terrific opportunity for members of Occupy KC  to answer questions about the local Occupation, its history and present course and to exchange ideas with forum attendees.

Like all of the All Souls forums, audio of today’s event will be broadcast on KKFI in the next few weeks.

Thank you All Souls, KKFI and Kansas City for being so dang awesome.   read more.

Occupy the Super Bowl

Saturday, 4 February, 2012 in Movement Updates

Indiana Union ProtestOccupy protesters in Indianapolis are gearing up to use the media spotlight on Sunday’s Super BowlXLVI to rally for union rights outside the statehouse. Earlier this week, Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels signed a so-called “right to work” measure into law that critics say will result in lower wages and diminished collective bargaining rights. Indiana workers have received the backing of the National Football League Players Association, which has called “right to work” “a political ploy designed to destroy basic workers’ rights.”
