OCCUPY ATLANTA AND TAKE BACK THE BLOCK SHUT DOWN CHASE BANK; 8 OCCUPIERS ARRESTED
, 12.02.2012 07:58
Today, February 10th, 2012, Occupy Atlanta and Take Back the Block sat in at the Chase Bank located in the Edgewood Retail District. This action is part of a larger campaign against Chase Bank in getting the deed back from Chase to the Pittman family. Carmen Pittman, the granddaughter of the late Eloise Pittman, was arrested along with seven others. This was the first time--since the occupation movement shifted its focus to foreclosure--that a homeowner was involved in direct action. They are now known as the Chase Eight. Eloise Pittman was given a predatory loan on a home that she and her family have lived in for over 50 years. She passed away in November, and her family is facing eviction. Since December 6th, 404 Glen Iris has been occupied in an effort to stop eviction. read more & video Past Features:An Update and Call to Action from #GlenIris #OccupyAtlanta | The Pittman Family vs Chase Bank-Round 3

Trade Justice Roadshow: Corporate Globalization & the Trans-Pacific FTA
, 11.02.2012 15:26
The Trans-Pacific FTA is being negotiated behind closed doors between a dozen countries throughout the Pacific Rim. Journalists, most Members of Congress and the people most likely to be impacted by these negotiations are barred from reviewing the U.S. proposals, but approximately 600 corporate lobbyists certified as official "citizen advisers" have regular access to both the negotiating documents and the negotiators. Join us as we learn more about this pact; about the impact of past trade deals on our communities; and to send a message to Senator Ron Wyden and other elected officials that we will not accept another business-as-usual trade pact that offshores jobs, reduces the tax base and puts a downward pressure on the wages and benefits of jobs that are left.

Wall Street Excess and Main Street Distress: the Apple Connection
, 11.02.2012 08:51
Ever since the beginning of the current global economic crisis, the focus of both critical analysis and public odium has been speculative capital. In the populist narrative, it was the breathtaking shenanigans of the banks in an atmosphere of deregulation that led to the economic collapse. The “financial economy,” characterized as parasitic and bad, was contrasted to the “real economy,” which was said to produce real goods and real value. Resources flowed into speculative activities in finance, resulting in a loss of dynamism in the real economy and eventually leading to credit cutoff at the height of the crisis, causing bankruptcies and massive layoffs.
Reflections from Monday night's Oakland solidarity march
, 11.02.2012 08:51
From an arrestee:
On Monday night there was a march in Portland in solidarity with Occupy Oakland's call-out for a day of action against police brutality and arrests. The description for Portland's march specifically called for a respect for diversity of tactics including a black bloc and nonviolent direct action. Unfortunately the actual event proved much less tolerant to this diversity of tactics - people utilizing black bloc tactics were physically assaulted by other marchers on multiple occasions, and scapegoated for the 10 arrests the police made.
Prop 8 Ruled Unconstitutional
, 11.02.2012 05:38
California's Proposition 8 ban on same sex marriage was ruled unconstitutional by a three member panel of judges from the US Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit. Judge Smith dissented. The panel majority stated that California voters violated the 14th Amendment of the Federal Constitution when voting for Prop 8. San Francisco's City Attorney stated that officials are getting ready and changing marriage forms, but that until the stay is lifted same sex couples in California still cannot marry.
Anti-Occupy legistlation introduced before the City Council
, 11.02.2012 04:25
The DC City Council has introduced legislation to criminalize all but the mildest forms of protest in DC. No doubt this is in response to rich lobbyists and the venues of things like the Alfalfa Club lobbying for relief from Occupy DC. A hearing will be held March 12 on the legislation.
CPAC Phase 1: fat cats, tents, an inside team, and baseball bats
, 11.02.2012 04:25
On the 10th of February, unions and Occupy protesters descended on the Wardman Park Marriot, where CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Committee, is meeting. An estimated 1,000 people showed up, with a giant "fast cat" balloon, Occupy tents-and the "Tax Dodgers" in baseball uniforms carrying baseball bats!

It's 2AM--Do you know where your police force is? Demanding ID's at Occupy Rochester
, 10.02.2012 23:17

Unanimous Voice Opposes New Jail at Champaign County Board
, 10.02.2012 13:17
Another crowd of people showed up for a second week to oppose plans for expansion of the Champaign County jail. Several individuals spoke during public comment. Among them were: Mikhail Lyubansky, who writes and teaches about restorative justice, said, "Jail is just one strategy, not the only one" to public safety and called on the County Board to look into alternatives to incarceration. Peter Campbell of the GEO Solidarity Committee said, "To argue that we should expand a jail in order to treat prisoners better is perverse: any public official who makes this argument is trading on the lives of the most vulnerable in our community for their own political gain." Chris Evans spoke about the history of the public safety quarter cent sales tax, passed by voters in 1998. The sales tax ought to be brough back to voters, he said.

Chris Hedges has and continues to make very valuable historical critiques of both the Democratic and Republican parties. But his strategic options for Occupy Wall Street are fundamentally flawed. Here's why.
Chris Hedges and Kristof Lopaur, Occupy Oakland, Debate Black Bloc
, 09.02.2012 07:00
This is an important debate on Letters and Politics w/ Mitch Jeserich, KPFA, between Chris Hedges and Kristof Lopaur of Occupy Oakland, in response to Hedges article, "Black Bloc: The Cancer in Occupy" Audio of debate Both sides debate what appeals to a "broader audience" versus "alienating people." Some of this sounds familiar and was hashed out in previous anti-globalization debates re property damage and diversity of tactics. They appear to agree on how to look at "militancy". And they both are trying to answer where to go from here, the role of the Democrats, thinking strategically.
