At an Occupy Wall Street film premiere, people trespass on gas station parking lots. So it went on Wednesday night when 200 people — academics, environmental activists, dudes on bikes — descended flash-mob style on a Mobil station at Houston Street and Avenue C for a guerrilla screening of a documentary film about climate change and Occupy Sandy, the movement’s ongoing effort to assist the victims of last month’s storm. In classic Occupy fashion, the 20-minute film, “Occupy Sandy: A Human Response to the New Realities of…http://www.twitpic.com/bhn0vi

Because, right now, it just looks like Danske has done nothing but make a pretty, outrageously meaningless commercial. This is what Danske says about the new campaign: “The strategy is intended to restore trust in the Bank and ensure that we live …http://www.twitpic.com/bgrm64
#union #iww #ows #p2 #tlot #tcot From Occupation to Liberation http://dissidentvoice.org/2012/11/from-occupation-to-liberation/ Despite a myriad of obituaries for the movement that began in Manhattan in September 2011, the people of Occupy refuse to let it die. There are hundreds involved in the Occupy Sandy effort in the New York City region following the devastation of Tropical Storm Sandy. Individuals and groups connected to Occupy Wall Street have organized relief efforts that are feeding and caring for thousands of people left without power, work and homes. Those being helped are primarily the working poor and folks on assistance. They are also those traditional relief efforts tend to ignore, precisely because of their income status and, in the USA, also pe…http://www.twitpic.com/bg7xea
#union #iww #ows #p2 #tlot #tcot [VIDEO] “Occupy” Movement Shifts Focus To Sandy Relief http://www.ny1.com/content/top_stories/172659/-occupy–movement-shifts-focus-to-sandy-relief For many New Yorkers, the word “Occupy” refers to only one thing: The activists who took over a park near Wall Street last year to protest the growing gap between rich and poor. But these days, the Occupy folks are up to something else. Occupy Wall Street has been replaced with Occupy Sandy. It is a grassroots relief effort to help people in need after the hurricane. “I sometimes get emotional talking about it, because it is just this human miracle that is happening,” said Kristian Nammack, a member of the Occupy Sandy movement. Occupy volunteers were among the first to respond after Sandy hit. Their work has…http://www.twitpic.com/bg4y22
#union #iww #ows #p2 #tlot #tcot OCCUPY RETURNS, WITH A NEW IDEA http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/newsdesk/2012/11/occupy-returns-with-a-new-idea.html Last Thursday night, Le Poisson Rouge, a concert venue in lower Manhattan, hosted “The People’s Bailout,” a night of music and comedy performances to benefit an initiative called the Rolling Jubilee. The Rolling Jubilee, a project of Strike Debt, itself an arm of Occupy Wall Street, has been raising money from supporters to buy debt discounted by the original lenders to as little as two cents on the dollars—the kind of debt that’s typically sold to collection agencies. Having bought the debt, Rolling Jubilee will then forgive it. It is, in Occupy parlance, “a bailout of the ninety-nine per-cent by the ninety-nine per-cent.” Ticket ho…http://www.twitpic.com/bfk6b0

Pack got rudely introduced to life in post-crisis America last August, when word came down that she and 1,000 of her fellow public employees would have to take a little unpaid vacation for a while. The county, it turned out, was more than billion in debt — meaning that courthouses, jails and sheriff's precincts had to be closed so that Wall …http://www.twitpic.com/bezo66

The GOP sore losers have America up against a wall. Republicans don't care that the majority of the country voted for a candidate who promised to raise taxes on the rich. Republicans don't care that an even larger majority – 60 percent – told election day pollsters they wanted those taxes raised. Republicans don't care about majority-rule democracy at all. They're demanding ransom – extension of tax cuts for the rich. If Americans don't submit, Republicans will slash the nation's economy…http://www.twitpic.com/bf0g34
