What are the Occupiers Planning for Tomorrow‘s Massive ’May Day’ Protest?

On Sunday, we showed you why this week is going to be “one of the biggest weeks that anyone can remember” (as mentioned by Business Insider). A big reason for that is Occupy Wall Street’s plan to create a chain of disruptive protests and strikes around the world on May Day, tomorrow, in order to reinvigorate its movement and address, it says, inequality and pursue social justice.
Today, Bloomberg News has a piece with more details about what that will look like.

The Bloomberg reports digs deeper into what the Occupy movement has planned. According the article, it will involve massive, coordinated May Day direct actions across the United States and the globe:
“Calls for a general strike with no work, no school, no banking and no shopping have sprung up on websites in Toronto, Barcelona, London, Kuala Lumpur and Sydney, among hundreds of cities in North America, Europe and Asia.”
Bloomberg also went inside the planning meeting for the event, and the schedule of events:
About 150 attended an April 25 meeting at the Greenwich Village headquarters of the Amalgamated Clothing & Textile Workers Union, making last-minute preparations for how to deploy legal and medical help; site selection for picketing; purchasing, production and distribution of protest signs; and how to talk to reporters.
The meeting convened inside the union hall basement, where attendees arranged chairs in a circle as three facilitators asked each of the assembled to identify themselves by first name and gender — he, she or they. Most appeared under age 30, though gray-haired baby boomers also participated. One of the older attendees pulled a ski mask over his head to protest the presence of a photographer from Tokyo.
Tomorrow, beginning at 8 a.m. in Bryant Park, scheduled events include teach-ins, art performances and a staging area for “direct action and civil disobedience,” such as bank blockades.
Raging Musicians
Tom Morello of the Grammy Award-winning rock band Rage Against the Machine along with 1,000 other guitar-playing musicians will accompany a march to Union Square at 2 p.m., according to the maydaynyc.org website. That will be followed by a “unity rally” at Union Square at 4 p.m.; a march from there to Wall Street at 5:30 p.m.; and a walk to a staging area for “evening actions,” which organizers at the April 25 meeting said would be the so-called after-party.
[...]
In San Francisco, a group calling itself the Golden Gate Bridge Labor Coalition abandoned a plan to close the span while carrying on with a day of picketing to support bridge, ferry and bus workers seeking reduced health-care benefit costs, according to its website.
Across the bay in Oakland, protesters said they intend morning marches on banks and the Chamber of Commerce, followed by an afternoon rally and a march downtown.
Since the Occupation of Zuccotti Park in New York City was disbanded on November 15th, the Occupiers have been forced to rely on marches and smaller-scale protests during the winter months. They seek to change all that tomorrow and come back bigger than ever.

The Occupiers in New York will be able to call upon the additional strength of dozens of organized labor unions as well as a number of community organizers. With the help of the Occupiers’ digital media wing, images of mass protests and possibly civil disobedience are likely to be blast around the world in real time.
The Daily News Reports that the Occupiers are advising sympathizers: “If you can’t strike call in sick. If you can’t call in sick hold a slow down.”
Some believe that Occupy Wall Street will attempt to shut down a bridge or tunnel into Manhattan, while others believe the group will simply move en masse into the streets to snarl traffic. There is also the possibility of an “affinity group” direct action led by the anarchists of the so-called “Black Bloc,” which could turn destructive.
The NYPD and the residents of New York are bracing for what could be a hectic, frustrating, adrenaline-filled day on the streets of America’s biggest city. Mass arrests of Occupiers are certainly possible, and all it takes is one wayward group to create a very dangerous situation.
The Blaze will report live from various Occupy Wall Street protests and direct action events and will be on scene throughout the day tomorrow, so stay tuned and keep checking in.

When you make low wages, you reduce your lifestyle to fit that. The motivation to live the American dream should be the driving force to better yourself through hard work ethic and find a job with higher wages. The jobs are out there. The problem is that people, such as yourself, find it easier to rely on the government for a free ride.

Posted on April 30, 2012 at 10:22pm“The motivation to live the American dream should be the driving force to better yourself through hard work ethic and find a job with higher wages.”
It is my motivation, and I like to think I try harder every day. But looking around, it looks like there‘s an awful lot of people who try very hard and always played by the rules and haven’t gotten anywhere, and a lot of people who’ve cheated have wormed their way into the top. Social mobility in the US is down, and has been getting worse for decades. We’re increasingly at the mercy of a cabal of property-owning aristocrats, like something straight out of feudal Europe.
“The problem is that people, such as yourself, find it easier to rely on the government for a free ride.”
You’ve got me pegged all wrong, I don’t use free government anything (except the usual, I guess – roads, public education, etc.)
“Socialism only works until people like me run out of money to support people like you.”
Let’s turn that around. Capitalism only works until people like you and me run out of money to support people like Warren Buffett, Mitt Romney, or George Soros. All of their wealth, all of their power, comes from the fact that they OWN for a living, and essentially “buy” the labor of people who WORK for a living.
I don’t want your money or your taxes. I don’t want the government to give me stuff. I want organizations to be democratic, participatory, and fair – even economic organizations. Is

Posted on April 30, 2012 at 10:38pmFYI: When voxpopuli uses the terms democratic, he isnt talking about democratic as in the political process of democracy. Leftists have co-opted this term, and attempted to change the meaning to a collectivist slant. To them democracy is a right to a house, health care, etc. etc. And voxpopuli, you’re a bit misguided. According to IRS data, between 1996-2005, 91% of people in the lowest quintile of incomes increased their earnings into the 4th and 5th quintiles. Clearly, that contradicts your talking points.

“Those over 50 will fight you to our dying breath to keep America strong.”
Well, then, we don’t have to do much else other than WAIT, do we? We’re sitting on the crest of a massive demographic slide – the Boomers are being eclipsed by the Millennials. All of your talk of violence and guns and bombs and whatever it is you think you can stop us with – all of it proves none of you understand the kind of fight you’re fighting. Or why you’re losing it.
I will say it again: Occupy Wall Street is probably not the Revolution. The pay off of the work and organizing OWS is doing now won’t be seen for another decade – just like how the organizers for civil and workers rights campaigns in the late ‘50s didn’t see their work pay off until a decade later. Think of how many people still watch Beck, or how many have heeded his warnings in the past? The Tea Party will be a footnote in the history books, the dying gasp of the counterrevolution.
Meanwhile, our work goes on. As it always has.

Posted on April 30, 2012 at 3:06pmLike the idea of marking them for future identification purposes. Think their parents should be forced to pay the damages OR the “kids” should be sold into slavery! Only kidding about the slavery. Who would buy them ? BUT seriously, those who do the damage should pay for the repair. It’s the new version of ” you bust it, you buy it.” Unlike the 99% Phony Obama-Buffett Rule, this one is real. The New Entitlement Rule : you caused damage ? then YOU are entitled to pay for the repair. Only hope for the victimized taxpayers !

Posted on April 30, 2012 at 2:17pmTo All the commenters……….I went to Vox’s song choice “Millions of Dead Cops”………I think you all should. Since you must be young, stupid or drugged to understand the words in the song itself you might have to google the lyrics as it is hard to understand the singer. At least I did.
I googled the lyrics……….disgusting, as were the other song titles, though I’m sure the OWS love them all. It does explain part of the mindset of this sick, spoiled generation of absolute losers.

Oh hi. Please tell me more about the straw man ideology in which I apparently believe. While you’re at it, tell me who works for a living – people like you and I (assuming you work), or people like, say, Mitt Romney? People who make millions of dollars – which they use to fuel lavish lifestyles and fund political campaigns – not through working, but through OWNING. Mitt Romney made millions over the last year not by the sweat of his brow, but by OWNING property.
Back in the day, the term for property-owning aristocracies being paid through the labor of the surrounding peasantries was FEUDALISM. We overthrew that, once. All human institutions – not just the “government” – all human institutions should be democratic, should be open, should be participatory. That creates a free society. That empowers the individual. Capitalism’s feudal system of fiat-ownership – which allows a relatively select few a greatly disproportionate voice in the political sphere – has to come to an end.
Schools to the teachers. Land to the farmers. Factories to the workers.
“s***neck”
That’s fantastic.
