Support Occupy Wall Street:

 

Order a Bring Our War $$ Home t-shirt

This morning at dawn I gathered with thousands of friends and allies in an emergency action to defend the home and heart of Occupy Wall Street. Just as we have organized against illegal foreclosure of our neighbors, we stood shoulder to shoulder with unions, city workers, and countless community members to prevent Mayor Bloomberg's shameful attempt to evict us from the park under the guise of "sanitation"!

At 7 am, to raucous celebration, the people's microphone announced that the owners of the park had postponed the sanitation plan.

Thank you for helping make this beautiful victory possible!

While we celebrate how the movement is gaining momentum, we must not disregard the brutality of the Boston and Denver police who descended upon peaceful protesters in riot gear and evicted them in the middle of the night. Unfortunately, Boston and Denver did not have as many people protesting their evictions as we did.

Tomorrow people will be rising up in over 950 cities in 82 countries for a historic global day of action and we need you to join us in the streets to send a clear message that you are fed up with the greed and corruption of the 1%. Join
our Anti-War March in New York or find an event in your city.

Onward for peace and justice,

Melanie, CODEPINK NYC Coordinator and OWS Organizer
