         Please, view this video of the arrests made in the Bronx, share and invite others...

      On Saturday, December 3, 2011, Occupy the Bronx was scheduled to conduct its roving General Assembly in solidarity with Morning Glory Garden gardeners at 11 am. However, upon arriving we were preempted by NYPD Captain Garcia and his legal gang – including some in “community” affairs attire – under his command from the 40th Precinct who began randomly arresting Bronxites, including Shaun Lin, Carlos Sabater, David Suker, Alex, and a sister who was merely there as an independent writer for allegedly “blocking pedestrian traffic” and congregating without a permit.

      At the time of the arrest, there weren’t many of us there, but we were as vulnerable to arrest as anyone else and as vulnerable as those who were indeed wrongfully arrested without cause.

      JOIN US!

      THIS WEDNESDAY at 6PM at Lincoln Hospital, we invite you to confront the 40th Precinct at the precinct council’s monthly meeting to expose the inconsistency of this precinct’s policing practices within the Mott Haven, Melrose, Port Morris sections of the Bronx; to stand up for Shaun’s, Carlos’, David’s, Alex’s, and the sister’s, and the Bronx’ collective dignity; and to demand Deputy Inspector Christopher J. McCormack reign in his crew in all shades of blue!

      JOIN US!

      At the Bronx general assembly, there are numerous causes being fought for, all spearheaded by a single principle of community control and self-governance. The people in the Bronx should decide how things are run in the Bronx–in our schools, hospitals, streets and neighborhoods.

      GENERAL ASSEMBLIES take place every Saturday at 11am, rotating locations each week:

      1st weekend of every month: Fordham Plaza
      2nd weekend of every month: 149th & 3rd Ave aka The Hub
      3rd weekend of every month: Plaza by the Hunts Point Ave 6 train station
      4th weekend of every month: Gun Hill Rd and White Plains Ave

      In yet another clash with Riot Police in Oakland, California, another peaceful Iraq War Veteran gets a beating from the Oakland Police.
      Video footage has emerged of a police officer beating an Iraq war veteran so hard that he suffered a ruptured spleen in an apparently unprovoked incident at a recent Occupy protest in California.

      For Immediate Release: November 15, 2011

      Contact:

      Yetta Kurland – 917-701-9590
      Daniel Alterman – 917-945-2599
      Gideon Oliver – 646-263-3495
      Margaret Kunstler – 917-331-8012

      New York, NY: At around 6 AM on November 15, 2011, attorneys associated with the New York City Chapter of the National Lawyers Guild working as the Liberty Park Legal Working Group obtained a temporary restraining order against the City of New York, various City agencies, and Brookfield properties directing that occupiers be allowed back on the premises with their belongings.

      Earlier, at approximately 1 AM, the NYPD began massing around Zuccotti Park “aka Liberty Park.” In the following hours reports surfaced that the NYPD entered the park with police in riot gear backed up by numerous police vehicles, including a bulldozer, evicting occupiers. In the process they destroyed property and arrested dozens of occupiers and protestors including NYC Councilmember Ydanis Rodriguez and District Leader Paul Newell.

      In the coming hours, days and weeks the LPLWG will pursue all legal options to enable the occupiers to continue to exercise their first amendment rights to speech and assembly for speech. Attorney Yetta Kurland, one of the attorneys from the LPLWG, said, “This is a victory for everyone who believes in the First Amendment. We will continue to fight for everyone’s right to continue the occupation.” In response to the injunction, Daniel Alterman, also an attorney with the LPLWG, stated that, “This is a victory for all Americans, for the constitution and for the 99%.” Gideon Oliver, another attorney with the LPLWG reacted by saying, “The LPLWG has been fighting to ensure their right to free speech from day one of the occupation. The occupiers right to free speech is based in our most core legal principles and we will be here till the end to fight for those rights.”

      The order is available for download here.

      The Liberty Park Legal Working Group is a group of volunteer attorneys and legal workers dedicated to defending the rights of those engaged in constitutionally-protected assembly or protest.

      #OccupyWallStreet Convening 9 a.m. Sixth Avenue and Canal Street.

      New York, NY — We are a global movement that is reclaiming our humanity and our future. We have stepped into a revitalizing civic process, realizing that we cannot fix our crises isolated from one another. We need collective action, and we need civic space. We are creating that civic space.

      To occupy is to embody the spirit of liberation that we wish to manifest in our society. It is to exercise our freedom to assemble. We are creating space for community, values, ideas, and a level of meaningful dialogue that is absent in the present discourse.

      Liberated space is breaking free of isolation, breaking down the walls that literally and figuratively separate us from one another. It is a new focus on community, trust, love and hope. We occupy to create a vision of equality, liberty and social justice onto the blank paving stones of public parks, in the silent hallways of abandoned schools, banks, and beyond. Public space plays a crucial role in this civic process and encourages open, transparent organizing in our movement. As we have seen in Liberty Square, outdoor space invites people to listen, speak, share, learn, and act.

      Last night, billionaire Michael Bloomberg sent a massive police force to evict members of the public from Liberty Square—home of Occupy Wall Street for the past two months. People who were part of a dynamic civic process were beaten and pepper-sprayed, their personal property destroyed.

      Supporters of this rapidly growing movement were mobilized in the middle of the night, making phone calls, taking the streets en masse, and planning next steps. Americans and people around the world are appalled at Bloomberg's treatment of people who peacefully assemble. We are appalled, but not deterred. Liberty Square was dispersed, but its spirit not defeated. Today we are stronger than we were yesterday. Tomorrow we will be stronger still. We are breaking free of the fear that constricts and confines us. We occupy to liberate.

      We move forward in the grand tradition of the transformative social movements that have defined American history. We stand on the shoulders of those who have struggled before us, and we pick up where others have left off. We are creating a better society for us all.

      Occupy Wall Street has renewed a sense of hope. It has revived a belief in community and awakened a revolutionary spirit too long silenced. Join us as we liberate space and build a movement. 9 a.m. Tuesday morning at Sixth Avenue and Canal we continue.

      Global actions will be posted on this page.

      From: Russia Today OWS destroyed: Cops clear Zuccotti Park (PHOTOS, VIDEO) Published: 15 November, 2011, 11:58 Occupy Wall Street protesters have clashed with police at Zuccotti Park after being ordered to leave their longtime encampment in New York. At least 70 people have been arrested with the police said to have used pepper spray. Meanwhile, City Council member Ydanis Rodriguez, 51, has reportedly been beaten by the NYPD and is bleeding from head. The police operation commenced at approximately 1am Tuesday. Hundreds of police have mobilized around the park showing protesters letters informing them that they need to leave the encampment temporarily. The NYC Mayor's Office has also posted their demand on Twitter. The tweet read: "Occupants of Zuccotti should temporarily leave and remove tents and tarps. Protestors can return after the Park is cleared." A group of protesters estimates vary from 40 to 100 are refusing to leave the park. Peaceful protesters have been dragged out of the "kitchen" by their arms and legs while nonviolently resisting NYPD, which has also repeatedly tear-gassed people.

      A People’s Assembly at Hostos College this Saturday, November 5, will be accessible as “live stream” online video at the following address:

      www.ustream.com
      Show: mumiaabujamalonamove (Cut and paste this into the search field and press enter.)

      The People’s Assembly will bring together the Occupy movement with the South Bronx Community Congress, the Bail Out the People Movement and the Bronx Freedom Party. The People’s Assembly is scheduled from noon to 5pm.

      Participants include members of Teamsters Local 808 at Woodlawn Cemetery, SEIU Local 32BJ/Schools Division, Transport Workers Union Local 100, Picture the Homeless, Occupy the Bronx, District 12 Parents Association Presidents’ Council, the CASA tenants organizations, La Peña del Bronx, Labor-Community Forum, the May 1 Coalition for Workers’ and Immigrants’ Rights, Bail Out the People Movement, and others.

      A video from People’s Video Network (online now) conveys some of the message of the People’s Assembly: http://www.youtube.com/peoplesvideo#p/a/u/0/jk_aQ_zOz9s

      The People’s Assembly will focus on action plans, including:

      • A Nov. 12 march & rally at Woodlawn Cemetery against racist anti-union abuse on the job
         
      • Actions on Nov. 17 both in the Bronx and Manhattan to demand jobs
      • A March Against Poverty & Violence in the South Bronx on Nov. 19
      • Hearings, marches and picketlines to save the U.S. Postal Service, and occupy post offices
      • Support for efforts to defend the right to education and community control of the schools
      • Immigrants' rights actions to be announced

      Co-Chair Ramon Jimenez, a founder of the South Bronx Community Congress and Freedom Party candidate for New York State Attorney General in 2010, emphasized the “people power” message of the event. “Just like the Occupy movement as a whole, this Bronx People’s Assembly offers a way for ordinary people to make their voices heard,” he said. “We also want to find a way for ordinary working families to be part of this growing movement,” he added.
       
      Key demands expected to be part of the People’s Assembly include:
        1.       An end to racist and anti-union violence and abuse on the job, like Woodlawn Cemetery.
        2.       A campaign to end the Taylor law and other restrictions on union rights, and support for       upcoming contract battles in the public sector, eg PEF and TWU, + fights to restore cuts in the schools.
        3.       Cancellation of the student debt.
        4.       A large-scale public works program, and an end to efforts to wipe out the postal service
        5.       Reversal of the attacks on Medicare, SNAP and Social Security
