October 15th - March for Economic Justice
ANSWER is standing in solidarity with the opening action of "Occupy New Haven," which is inspired by the actions in New York City and across the country. While people across the country are suffering massive unemployment, poverty, homelessness and food insecurity, the greed of the banks has led only to greater profits for CEOs and bailouts from the government. Across the country, people are rising in protest.
Saturday, October 15th, 12:00 noon at College and Elm.
WASHINGTON DC
Hola:
He regresado de un viaje relámpago a Washington para participar en los primeros días de la ocupación descrita abajo. Yo estaba, a veces sin planearlo, en cuatro marchas en dos días. La diversidad demográfica en el movimiento es impresionante. Voy a facilitar una conversación sobre las dos ocupaciones en Washington (Stop the Machine y Occupy D.C.) y las docenas de otras que se llevan acabo ahora.
Lunes, 17 de octubre
12:59 a 14:15 horas. Área del comedor y de las oficinas administrativas tomadas. UACM--Tezonco.
Favor de llegar puntual. Si puedes traer algo sabroso, saludable y económico para compartir, hazlo. Si tienes hambre, no te detienes a comer en otro lugar; ven a comer con nosotros.

ROCIO DESDE NYC
Occupy Wall Street Update: NYC Protesters Fight Against Eviction, Another Pepper-Spray Victim Presses Charges
Here are some of the latest developments regarding Occupy Wall Street and other occupations around the country:
--A showdown is brewing in Zuccotti Park/Liberty Plaza over clean-up of the occupation space. In one corner is Mayor Bloomberg, who's dispatching sanitation workers to the square on Friday and has ordered the occupiers to comply with the workers' clean-up efforts (which would involve "temporarily" vacating the area). Bloomberg swears the protesters will be able to return in the park "provided they abide by the rules that Brookfield has established for the park." But the protesters are (understandably) worried that officials will start enforcing park rules (no tarps, no laying down, etc.), effectively destroying the infrastructure of the space. So they have a different plan to clean up the area, while keeping their park. Their statement, via Gothamist: On Wednesday/Thursday, all campers/supporters should reach out to friends/family/anyone to donate or purchase brooms, mops, squeegees, dust pans, garbage bags, power washers and any other cleaning supplies to be collected at sanitation. The sanitation committee should move full-speed ahead on purchase of bins allocated by consensus at GA.
After General Assembly on Thursday, we'll have a full-camp cleanup session. Sanitation can coordinate, and anyone who is available will help with the massive community effort! Then, Friday morning, we'll awake and position ourselves with our brooms and mops in a human chain around the park, linked at the arms. If NYPD attempts to enter, we'll peacefully/non-violently stand our ground and those who are willing will get arrested.
Afterwards, we'll march with brooms and mops to Wall Street to do a massive #wallstcleanup march, where the real mess is! Update: MoveOn started a petition asking Mayor Bloomberg not to evict the protesters. Also, if you live in NYC, you can call 311 to voice your concerns.
Update 2: The Post confirms that protesters won't be allowed to bring their tents, coolers, or gear back into the park with them after the official clean-up. “People will have to remove all their belongings and leave the park,” Police Commissioner Ray Kelly told the paper. “After it’s cleaned, they’ll be able to come back. But they won’t be able to bring back the gear, the sleeping bags, that sort of thing will not be able to be brought back into the park.” Ugh.
--Check out this awesome interactive map of the long-term plans for Zuccotti Park, from Mother Jones. An internet cafe! An art space! An expanded assembly area!
--The Village Voice reports that another of Tony Bologna's pepper-spray victims has decided to press charges.
--Business Insider has published an epic and exhaustive post to help readers visualize what the Wall Street protesters are angry about. Go read it, and then share it with anyone you know who still doesn't get what these protests are about.
--Matt Taibbi notes in Rolling Stone that "the time is rapidly approaching when the movement is going to have to offer concrete solutions to the problems posed by Wall Street," so he gives us five specific demands that he thinks the Occupy Wall Street movement should consider getting behind. The list includes breaking up monopolies, taxing hedge-fund gamblers, and changing the way bankers get paid. Read a bit more about his advice here.
--Saturday is going to be a huge, international Day of Action tied to the Occupy Wall Street protests. Find out more information here, and spread the word.
--Actually, You're the 47%, a new Tumblr. Read it.
--Also: We Are the 1%. We Stand With the 99%.
--The number of solidarity occupations around the world continues to grow. According to the Occupy Together site, we're up to 1,450! Yowza.
--And here's confirmation that the Occupy Wall Street media blackout was short-lived. (Though the quality of the coverage is a whole other story):
In the first full week of October, according to Pew’s Project for Excellence in Journalism, the protests occupied 7 percent of the nation’s collective news coverage, up from 2 percent in the last week of September. Before then, the coverage was so modest as to be undetectable by the Project for Excellence in Journalism, which surveys 52 news outlets each week to produce a weekly study of news coverage.
--Reportedly, seven protesters were arrested in DC today while trying to gain access to the House Armed Services Committee where Defense Secretary Leon Panetta was testifying, with the message of "bring the troops home." According to a statement from CODEPINK, dozens of people tried to gain access to Panetta's testimony, but only 15 were allowed in, and they weren't permitted to quietly hold up protest signs.

Native American, Student, Labor & Civil Rights Groups Call for Indigenous Day of
Resistance Protest & Occupy Sacramento Press Conference
Date: October 12, 2011
Time: 10:00am
Place: Cesar Chavez Park
Contact: Cassandra Lepe (818) 741-8234
As another Columbus Holiday was shamelessly celebrated nationally, Native Americans, Student, Labor and Civil Rights groups join the National call for all communities across the Americas to join us in the struggle to denounce this so-called “celebration” and replace it to a National Holiday to honor and remember the Indigenous People. We also address the current attacks on our indigenous communities.
Oct 14th we will march to the Capitol for an Indigenous Day of Resistance Protest & Occupy Sacramento to denounce the United State’s glorification of the atrocities committed against native ancestors of the Americas during the Indigenous Holocaust let by Christopher Columbus.
With many severe cuts to education and social services nationwide, we call to question, why we continue to increase our $14.6 billion US National Debt to fund wars over seas. Instead we have a war at home, were millions are losing their homes and jobs while the banks are plundering our wealth. CA is #1 in Prison Spending and #43 in Education Nationwide Why is that? (NOTE: California is the 8th Largest economy in the WORLD and the US House Approx ¼ of the worlds prison population)
As for our Native Community surrounding the US/Mexican border, we are now being labeled as “Immigrants” that was once home. We are tired of seeing migrants scapegoated for the failures of capitalism. It angers us to be called “illegal aliens” when it was our ancestors who inhabited this lands before Columbus came to conquer and plunder this land. Now in contrast our people are forced to risk their lives crossing a further militarized border (Over the last decade, it is estimated 10,000 died crossing the border).
We are tired of seeing racist attacks to our communities through the education system. Now Ethnic studies are under attack, and in places like Arizona, the right to know our own history is illegal.
We are tired of seeing how after exploiting and repressing our migrant community, politicians manipulate “undocumented” students and the “immigrant” community giving false promises about legalization in order to gain the so-called “Latino vote”.
Obama, has set a record for deporting 1 million of our people. Many of these deportations have been done through the program ironically called “Secure-communities”. But instead of security it has created fear in our homes and broken apart countless families. Currently the president has recently pulled a move halting 300 thousand deportations. It is our belief that this is just a move to get himself re-elected in 2012, but his actions speak for himself. The program of “secure-communities” which has deported so many of our people and caused fear on our barrios still in place.
We are calling to action here at the State Capitol for all communities to join the movement to defend families and education, because this is a people’s movement for human rights and to stand up against injustice. We will no longer be victimized by these racist laws or corporate greed restricting us of an education and split up the millions of families from one another.
This is bigger than Columbus Day… this is for accountability for the rights of all people to live and work for their families and have a good education not corrupted by racism.

Movimiento Mundial Prodemocracia: la iniciativa Frente al desastre nacional e internacional ¿Qué Podemos Hacer? se une a este movimiento mundial.
Nos unimos a este movimiento mundial, con nuestra participación activa este 15 de octubre en el Monumento a la Revolución. En México, las instituciones que se llaman "representativas"no nos representan. Tienen muy poca legitimidad. Urge crear en México un estado de derecho con sustento democrática real.
Lunes 17 de octubre, proxima reunión de la inciativa Frente al desastre nacional e internacional ¿Qué Podemos Hacer?.
entre las 12.00 hrs y las 2.30 pm, en el salón azul de la Universidad de Londres, situado en la plaza Luis Cabrera No. 9, entre Guanajuato y Zacatecas, colonia Roma, a dos cuadras de Álvaro Obregón. Les rogamos ser puntuales.
Daremos continuidad a la discusión sobre ¿cómo debe proceder este grupo para establecer consensos en torno a lo que se debe hacer en cada tema nacional e internacional, para hacer frente colectivamente al Desastre Mundial que se nos viene encima? ¿ cuál debería ser la Agenda Ciudadana Mexicana frente al Desastre social, ecológico, económico, político y simbólico del Mundo? ¿cuál debería ser nuestra propuesta en Energía; Agua; Biodiversidad; Residuos; Culturas; Democracia; Paz; Vivienda; Campo; Ciudad; Alimentación; Salud; Economía? ¿qué hacer frente al 2012, a nivel federal y a nivel local o estatal?
Esta será la ultima reunión de la primera etapa de esta iniciativa, ya que se suspenden las reuniones en el salon azul para apoyar el Cervantino Callejero de Guanajuato. Avisaremos posteriormente del incio de la segunda etapa.
