#OCCUPYWALLSTREET This Weekend!
Hey you jammers, dreamers, patriots and revolutionaries out there,
What will happen this Saturday when thousands of us descend on Lower Manhattan and start walking towards Wall Street?
If the police try to stop us, how will we respond?
This is what happened in Madrid last month when the Spanish government tried to stop people from gathering in the Puerta del Sol, site of the people's encampment:
"All day long, 300 police officers kept the square hermetically sealed off, even closing the Sol metro station – one of the largest and most important in the city … When the protesters realized they couldn't take the square, they quickly dissolved into a dozen side-streets and regrouped on a number of key locations … For hours now, protesters have been blocking all the main traffic arteries in the city center … Tens of thousands of indignados have brought Madrid to a complete standstill in a spontaneous and defiant bid to reclaim Puerta del Sol … The mass protest is now reported to be headed back towards Sol for a second time, in another attempt to take back the square."
– Jérôme E. Roos
If the police block us temporarily from occupying Wall Street, then let's turn all of lower Manhattan into our Tahrir Square. Let's sing our songs in the lobby of Goldman Sachs and in Chase Manhattan Plaza; let's wave our signs outside the SEC and the Federal Reserve; let's convene our people's assemblies around the Charging Bull statue at Bowling Green … and if need be, let's set up our encampments in nearby Battery Park and other places until we're ready to walk into Wall Street again …
Anything can and will happen this Saturday. That's the beauty of it! Ultimately, the only thing that matters in how many of us turn up eager to be a part of a spontaneous creative swarm and determined to bring the financial fraudsters to justice.
Bring signs, flowers, food and a revolutionary mood … and a commitment to absolute nonviolence in the Gandhian tradition.
for the wild,

PS.
The S17 meme is rumbling all over the world now … Milan, Madrid, Valencia, London, Lisbon, Athens, San Francisco, Santander, Madison, Amsterdam, Los Angeles and now Algeria and Israel are all on board! Could this be the beginning of a new global economic order?

Godspeed to each and every one of you partaking in this! I'm not able to make it. I'm a worker living paycheck to paycheck. But I am resisting by organizing in my workplace. But honestly this is sweet, and myself and all of my Fellow Workers are with you in spirit. Seize this revolutionary moment. It may not happen again in our lives. This is a major front in the battle between the tiny minority who wishes to enslave, and the vast majority demanding freedom.
Having said that, keep shit peaceful. I'm not a pacifist, but this ain't Greece. We can win. We will, because we must. We are the 99%. We are the 99%.

I'm a little confused, if some people decided to block these tunnels how is that any more violent than blocking some streets? Really they would be doing people a favor by decreasing traffic to the city because of the harmful pollution released by cars.
Again to me I don't see any justification for the authorities to use violence against protesters who block a tunnel but do not hurt any people in the process. Last I checked tires and cars don't have feelings but I could be wrong. Are you saying that maybe ambulances and such would have trouble reaching the city if the tunnels and bridges were shut down?
