May Day Rally – Kansas City Board of Trade
Monday, 30 April, 2012 in Movement Updates, Occupy KC News
On May Day, Occupy Kansas City will gather at the JC Nichols fountain on the plaza at 12:30PM in preparation to pay a visit to the Kansas City Board of Trade, drawing attention to the commoditization of food that negatively impacts the hungry and poor. We then, in solidarity with 115 other cities, will engage the people through educational outreach about the importance of May Day, the Haymarket massacre, and the importance of the General Strike.
Occupy KC General Assembly has endorsed the Tax Day Parade, organized by PayUp KCP&L with heavy representation from people with Occupy KC. We, in conjunction with other community members, will be marching on corporate tax dodgers. Please meet at Barney Allis Plaza
The Occupy KC People’s Investigation, Search and Seizure of Economic Destroyers Unit (P.I.S.S.E.D) were deployed to Bank of America in downtown KC on 12.15.2011 to set up an Economic Crime Scene. As the the nation’s largest bank, BOA has engaged in a wide array of economically criminal deeds that kick the feet out from under the 99%, drive smaller banks and credit unions out of business, destroy the housing market and allow the homes they have seized to deteriorate.
