A Call for Reinforcements
Hey jammers,
#OCCUPYWALLSTREET is happening right now at Liberty Plaza!
It started last Saturday, when 5,000 Americans descended on to the financial district of Lower Manhattan, waved signs, unfurled banners, beat drums, chanted slogans and proceeded to walk towards the "financial Gomorrah" of the nation. They vowed to "occupy Wall Street" and to "bring justice to the bankers", but the New York police thwarted their efforts, locking down the symbolic street with barricades and checkpoints. Undeterred, protesters walked laps around the area before holding a people's assembly and setting up a semi-permanent protest encampment in a park on Liberty Street, a stone's throw from Wall Street and a block from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
Three hundred spent the night, several hundred reinforcements arrived the next day and as we write this, the encampment is digging in for a long-term stay. #OCCUPYWALLSTREET has been established in Zuccotti Park, which has now been renamed Liberty Plaza. With Liberty Plaza liberated, and acting as a base in the financial district, the indignados have been sending out raiding parties to nearby Wall Street and beyond.
Bravo to those courageous souls in the encampment on New York's Liberty Street. Every night that #OCCUPYWALLSTREET continues will escalate the possibility of a full-fledged global uprising against business as usual.
Now, it is crucial for everyone from all over the world to flock to the encampment. Call in to work sick, invite your friends and hop on a bus or plane to New York City.
We need you at Liberty Plaza!
for the wild,

On Thursday September 24th 2011, at 4:30 Albany Law School located at 80 New Scotland Avenue, Albany, New York 12208, will host a partisan extracurricular event open to the student body and general public honoring the Chairman of Citigroup alumnus Richard Parsons class of 1971, in the DAMC on the fourth floor of Albany Law School. Students of Albany Law believe that the student body and general public should use this partisan event as an opportunity to engage in protected conduct confronting the Chair of Citigroup and his organization’s possible negligence against the American citizens who suffered intentional severe emotional distress in regards to Citi groups actions through the sub-prime mortgage scandal which had implications on producing the Recession. We believe it is necessary take action In solidarity with the vanguard of American Citizens currently occupying Wall Street for the benefit of the 99% of the world oppressed by the intentionally malicious actions of the 1% of the world by organizations such as Citigroup and people such as Richard Parsons. We ask concerned citizens of Albany to join us in exercising their rights under the U.S. Constitution.
