À savoir qu'on les compte sur les doigts d'une main. Occupy Vancouver Protesters Reunite. Occupy Vancouver protesters met in the city's Downtown Eastside on Saturday to talk about the future of the movement.

Occupy Vancouver Protesters Reunite

The protest camp disbanded last month, five weeks after the movement began, after failing to establish a new encampment following two evictions. As about 100 demonstrators reunited on Saturday, the discussion included whether they should bring back the encampment. "I hope to see and take the temperature of the crowd and find out what people are thinking about that," said Hugh Stinson, who has been involved in the Occupy movement since the beginning.

"There are different strains of thought on that. We have had some offers of land, we have had some land that we have just considered taking. Temporary occupations But Stinson said the protest is not over. Taking back Brooklyn, Block by Block. Photo: Tracie Williams The winter rain soaked the crowd as they stepped off the L train at Livonia Avenue with wrapped gifts and bright balloons tucked under arms. Only a few miles from Wall Street the devastation of poverty in East New York, Brooklyn, one of the poorest neighborhoods in the state, is ubiquitous; foreclosed signs and vacant houses litter block after block after block. That is why last Tuesday’s National Day of Action, reclaiming abandoned homes for the homeless, marked an important next step in the Occupy Wall Street movement. The 400-person march on foreclosed properties, led by homeless families and neighborhood residents, began just after 1pm and included local community groups like VOCAL-NY, Union Healthcare Workers East, Organizing for Occupation, Picture the Homeless and Take Back The Land.

Councilman Baron climbed the stairs of the home to speak. The woman spoke of her inability to eat or sleep because Deutsche Bank was about to evict her. Occupy London asks St Paul’s – which side are you on? On Tuesday 7 December, just before representatives from Occupy London were due to meet the FSA’s CEO Hector Sants, the City of London Corporation delivered a set of documents to the legal team representing Occupy London. [1] These documents were released on the Corporation’s website and it appears that media were also alerted.

These documents were the witness statement (dated 6 December) of the Registrar of St Paul’s Cathedral, Nicholas Cottam, together with supporting evidence, all of which Occupy London’s legal team will contest at the High Court in the hearing that begins on 19 December. Present at the FSA meeting were the Bishop of London Rt Rev Dr Richard Chartres, Robert Gordon of St Paul’s Institute and Ken Costa, former Vice-Chairman of UBS Investment Bank and Chairman of Lazard International. Indeed, they had brokered the meeting to bring the FSA and Occupy London together as part of the St Paul’s Initiative. We invite you to decide for yourself.

Notes. Birmingham University protest ban attacked as 'aggressive and censorious' UK human rights groups have condemned one of Britain's biggest universities for "criminalising" sit-in protests, describing the move as worrying, aggressive and censorious.

Undercover police spied on protesters at Occupy LA. Undercover police officers infiltrated Occupy LA's tent city last month to spy on people suspected of stockpiling human waste and crude weapons for resisting an eventual eviction, police and city government sources have said.

Authorities said the covert surveillance was not aimed at anti-Wall Street activists exercising their constitutional right to freedom of expression but at those they considered anti-government extremists bent on violence. The revelation came as police arrested dozens of people during a raid of an Occupy San Francisco encampment outside the Federal Reserve building early on Sunday. San Francisco police Officer Albie Esparza says that at approximately 4am officers arrested about 55 people for illegal lodging. Esparza says that before police moved in on the encampment, demonstrators had been warned on an hourly basis over a 24-hour period that they were subject to arrest. "I'm not thrilled about it," she said. Occupy LA was not alone. Indignés ou Occupy : les bienvenus nulle part. Boston est la dernière ville des États-Unis où les autorités ont forcé l'évacuation des indignés, quand, en France, à Marseille, un campement a également été vidé manu militari.

Sur le modèle des Indignés de la Puerta del Sol, en mai dernier,ceux de New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphie et San Francisco, regroupés dans le réseau "Occupy", ont eux aussi été expulsés des espaces publics qu'ils occupaient. Après Wall Street ou Portland récemment, c'est le campement Occupy Boston, au Massachusetts, qui a été démantelé samedi , alors que des policiers ont défait des tentes et arrêté des dizaines de manifestants qui y protestaient depuis dix semaines.

Une porte-parole de la police, Elaine Driscoll, a indiqué que des agents avaient commencé à circuler dans le campement aux environs de 5 h, afin de s'assurer que les indignés "respecteraient le règlement municipal sur l'intrusion". Les indignés demandent un "droit de l'humain" The Camp is the World – An open letter to the occupy movement. #Occupy Oakland: WTFWMD.

Some meandering thoughts as I prepare for the West Coast Port Shutdown tomorrow . . .

My husband and I moved to the Bay Area about 15 years ago when our son was starting high school. We wanted to immerse him in what has come to be known as “San Francisco Values.” My husband, a draft resister who fled (literally) from the induction center in Downtown Oakland, had been drawn to People’s Park in Berkeley for decades in much the same the way Richard Dreyfuss was drawn to Devil’s Tower. #italianrevolution #OccupyItaly. Human rights are not optional!
