It's a little hard to give a Howard Zinn Memorial Lecture at an Occupy meeting. There are mixed feelings that go along with it. First of all, regret that Howard is not here to take part and invigorate it in his particular way, something that would have been the dream of his life, and secondly, excitement that the dream is actually being fulfilled. The Occupy movement really is an exciting development. The fact that the demonstrations are unprecedented is quite appropriate.
I'm just old enough to remember the Great Depression. It’s quite different now. Before the '70s, banks were banks. Occupy Colleges | In Solidarity with Occupy Wall Street. OWS - OccupyUSA. Declaration of the Occupation of New York City.

We write so that all people who feel wronged by the corporate forces of the world can know that we are your allies. As one people, united, we acknowledge the reality: that the future of the human race requires the cooperation of its members; that our system must protect our rights, and upon corruption of that system, it is up to the individuals to protect their own rights, and those of their neighbors; that a democratic government derives its just power from the people, but corporations do not seek consent to extract wealth from the people and the Earth; and that no true democracy is attainable when the process is determined by economic power.
To the people of the world, Inside Occupy Wall Street’s (Kinda) Secret Media HQ | Threat Level The revolution may never be televised, but if Occupy activists in a semi-secret media war room in New York’s Bowery district have their way, it will be livestreamed. Police seizures at occupations, as at the flagship camp in New York City on Tuesday, not to mention rain, cold and theft, are horrible for expensive media gear, as Occupy Wall Street found after setting up an ad hoc media operation in Manhattan’s Zuccotti Park in September. So Occupy Wall Street decided the best way to keep livestreams of the protests online was to move much of the gear to a safer location somewhere indoors. Wired.com visited the sorta-secret Media HQ in Manhattan last week for the first thorough tour of the facility. The conversations with activists eerily presaged the turmoil in Manhattan Tuesday and in cities like Oakland and Portland over the weekend.
The popular all-volunteer operation, originally run from a tent in Zuccotti Park, moved to a narrow room in the A.J. Video equipment disappears, too. Meet the Occupation | Occupy UCI! Paddy Johnson - Occupy Museums! Speaking out in front of the Cannons. The game is up: we see through the pyramid schemes of the temples of cultural elitism controlled by the 1%. No longer will we, the artists of the 99%, allow ourselves to be tricked into accepting a corrupt hierarchical system based on false scarcity and propaganda concerning absurd elevation of one individual genius over another human being for the monetary gain of the elitest of elite.
For the past decade and more, artists and art lovers have been the victims of the intense commercialization and co-optation or art. We recognize that art is for everyone, across all classes and cultures and communities. We believe that the Occupy Wall Street Movement will awaken a consciousness that art can bring people together rather than divide them apart as the art world does in our current time… Let’s be clear. Recently, we have witnessed the absolute equation of art with capital. Day 1, Thursday Oct. 20th: Revised Schedule: 3:00 Meet at Liberty ParkTeach-in about the museums we are going to occupy. What To Do If You’re Arrested at an Occupy Protest - Disorderly Conduct Laws. What started as “Occupy Wall Street” has quite literally turned into a worldwide movement . People across the country and the globe are picking up signs and gathering together to protest greed and corruption. The movement remains most pronounced in the United States where the common rallying cry is, “We are the 99%”, referring to the distribution of wealth at the top 1% of the population.
But at these rallies, some people aren’t leaving of their own accord; they are being carried away by the police. There are YouTube videos popping up every day that show arrests bordering on brutality. In the initial days, a NYPD administrator in a white shirt could be seen pepper spraying a crowd who had done nothing but exercise their right to protest. The protests strive to be completely peaceful, though it seems as though the cops are sometimes the ones disrupting the peace. Scanning the headlines of major city publications, you can find that scores are being arrested on any given day. N+1 Foundation. Occupy Augusta.
