#OccupyWallStreet >> New York City General Assembly
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Saturday, our 6 month anniversary celebrations were disrupted by the brutal St. Patrick's day raid conducted on behalf of the 1% by Mayor Bloomberg’s “private army”. The response from our community has been stunning, and this Saturday's #LetFreedomSpring march starting 12pm at Liberty Square will illustrate once again how you can't evict an idea whose time has come.

Occupy These Upcoming Events

Wednesday, March 21 6:00pm
Million Hoodie March for Trayvon Martin
Union Square
Throw on your hoodies and come gather in Union Square to show your support for justice for Trayvon Martin, the Florida 17-year-old whose killer hasn't been charged! A black person in a hoodie isn’t automatically “suspicious”. Let’s put an end to racial profiling! March 21st is the UN International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. http://ows.occupy.li/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=312&qid=39319

Thursday, March 22
Educators Stand Up to the NY Post
Meet at 30 Rockefeller Center
Join Occupy the Department of Education for a protest at News Corporation headquarters, and a tour of the NY Post and other publications that betrayed our teachers and students through the publication of teacher data reports. Wear black to mourn the “death of teaching” and your “scarlet number” to show we won’t be shamed!

Weekly Wall Street Marches
Friday, March 23 2:00pm
Liberty Square
Every Friday at 2pm we march from Liberty Square to Wall Street in preparation for May Day, a day of massive economic non-compliance and strike. Occupy is returning back to the basics as done in September: accessible direct actions to strengthen our community and voice our grievances to the 1%.
