Politicians beholden to the 1% are trying to evict the Occupy movement, from Wall Street and elsewhere around the country.
Meanwhile, in Washington, the “Super Committee” threatens to cut Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, while protecting tax cuts for the 1% — and ignoring the need for jobs.
But you cannot evict an idea. You cannot evict a coast-to-coast grassroots movement. On Thursday, the 1% is going to find that out.
Show them we refuse to be evicted – and we are continuing to fight for jobs, not cuts. Click here to join a “We are the 99%” event near you on Thursday, Nov. 17.
In Washington, we are sending a clear message to the budget-slashing “Super Committee,” in Washington, DC at 10 AM. A major rally featuring Sen. Bernie Sanders, will take place inside the U.S. Senate – Room 608 of the Dirksen Senate Office Building. We will warn Congress against any “Super Committee” deal that cuts our retirement security and fails to create jobs for the 99%.
In New York City, civic actions are planned from sunrise to sunset, starting at the New York Stock Exchange and outside City Hall. More details are at OccupyWallSt.org.
On the two-month anniversary of the Occupy movement, and two days after the brutal crackdown of Occupy Wall Street, rallies will be held all over the country highlighting the economic emergency facing the 99%: broken bridges, crumbling schools and widespread unemployment.
The nation will not see a beaten-down people. The nation will see a reenergized unstoppable movement, because there is too much at stake to remain silent.
The politicians are resorting to thuggish tactics because we have them on the run. Don't stop now.
25 Years of Truthout: An important fundraising appeal
This September, Truthout is celebrating 25 years of publication. For over two decades, we have been a trusted source for fiercely independent journalism thanks to readers like you.
As we look to the next 25 years, we have launched a special fundraising campaign. Looking to a sustainable future for our publication, we have a fundraising goal of $92,000 in the next 8 days.
We are asking for your support at this juncture because we face greater threats than ever before in our organizational history. Trump and his MAGA allies are determined to control the information ecosystem, and movement-based organizations are subject to dangerous censorship and scrutiny.
If you can support Truthout with a one-time or monthly donation, you will make a significant impact on our work and our legacy. Anything you can do makes a difference!
