Angela Davis at Occupy Wall St., NYC | NationofChange


www.nationofchange.org
Au­thor, ac­tivist, An­gela Davis spoke at Oc­cupy Wall St. in Wash­ing­ton Square Park on Sun­day Oc­to­ber 30. Thank­ing the OWS move­ment for trans­form­ing pol­i­tics in the uni­verse, she spoke to the bru­tal po­lice crack-down on the Oc­cupy en­camp­ment in her home town of Oak­land and sup­ported the call for a na­tional strike on No­vem­ber 2 in re­sponse to that vi­o­lence. She also spoke to the per­ils of lan­guage, call­ing on the move­ment to trans­form the mean­ing of the words oc­cu­pa­tion, democ­racy and unity.

Speak­ing through the "peo­ple's mic," Davis drew par­tic­u­lar at­ten­tion to ques­tions of in­clu­sion and urged the move­ment to em­brace a "com­plex unity" within the con­cept of "99 per­cent."Read Full article here |www.nationofchange.org

"The 99% pay for wealth disparity with lost jobs, foreclosed homes, weakening pensions, and slashed services, but Nature pays, too."

"It's not hard for me to understand how environmental quality and economic inequality came to be joined at the hip. In all my years as a grassroots organizer dealing with the tragic impact of degraded environments on public health, it was always the same: Someone got rich and someone got sick." Chip Ward

"The 99% pay for wealth disparity with lost jobs, foreclosed homes, weakening pensions, and slashed services, but Nature pays, too. In the world the 1%-ers have created, the needs of whole ecosystems are as easy to disregard as, say, the need the young have for debt-free educations and meaningful job..."

Occupy Earth

Give credit where it's due: It's been the genius of the protesters in Zuccotti Park to shift public discourse to whether the distribution of economic burdens and rewards is just and whether the economic system makes us whole or reduces and divides us. It's hard to imagine how we'll address our converging ecological crises without first addressing the way accumulating wealth and power has captured the political system. As long as Washington is dominated and intimidated by giant oil companies, Wall Street speculators, and corporations that can buy influence and even write the rules that make buying influence possible, there's no meaningful way to deal with our economy's addiction to fossil fuels and its dire consequences.

"There is a chance that such a movement could succeed in doing what the system itself has never done...bring about great change with little violence. This is possible because the more of the 99 percent that begin to see themselves as sharing... needs, the more the guards and the prisoners see their common interest the more the Establishment becomes isolated, ineffectual . The elite's weapons, money, control of information would be useless in the face of a determined population....."Chap. 23 "The Coming Revolt of the Guards" Howard Zinn "A Peoples's History of the United States"

All Ohio Gathering in Lafayette Square for November 6th Tar Sands Action

All Ohio Gathering in Lafayette Square for November 6th Tar Sands Action

IMPORTANT NOTE: The time has changed to 1:30pm and remember, Daylight savings ends when November 6th begins, so remember to set your clocks back an hour.

Buses and carpools galore will convey the largest peaceful invasion of our Nation's Capitol from Ohio ever! We're inviting all Ohioans to gather in the Northwest corner of Lafayette Square, near the statue of General Von Steuben. We'll then show the rest of the Nation that Ohio remains at the forefront of the struggle to Stop The Keystone XL Pipeline as we march with Buckeye pride to join our friends from every state in the Union around noon.

We hope to see you there. Got questions, please email Alec Johnson at hedgerowteacher@gmail.com. (Including the subject "Ohio in Lafayette SQ" would help)

We're very much looking forward to seeing you there!

Fitzgerald: "I would rather have law abiding citizens that go through a course be able to protect themselves then just have somebody up in the gallery that would be able to do currently what they are... we've heard from the other side of the aisle that we want this building to be open and all the public to be there, so, if that's the case, then we also want people, the citizens, to be able to come in and protect themselves."

The video Arthur released today is a bit longer than the others, but it's perhaps the best yet. It's not a video that stuns you, but as you watch person after person being handcuffed, you begin to realize how frightening this is in terms of preserving freedom and democracy. The arrests are shown while audio of Democratic Assembly Representatives making reasoned, passionate arguments for allowing peaceful observers to be left alone is played. The Democrats all wore buttons with the same words from the Wisconsin constitution that gallery observers had previously printed on their "illegal" signs.

"This could end up keeping people from finding work in Milwaukee,"

Shit Scott Walker Is Doing To My State

"This could end up keeping people from finding work in Milwaukee," she said. And, she said the writing was on the wall for the bill's passage in Madison. "They already have lots of votes for this."

It would be fascinating to crawl inside the skull of a politician like Kleefisch who decides to introduce punitive legislation like this under the disingenuous guise of a "job growth bill."

Apparently, Kleefisch wants us to believe most businesses have been clamoring for a new law to protect them from being sued by felons. Once it passes, I suppose all these firms will flock to Wisconsin to create thousands of jobs.
