When: Tuesday, August 28 7pm Where: Occupy The Stage 2735 C Toulouse Street, New Orleans, LA Activists from Less Wall More Street will be visiting New Orleans August 28- 30. Occupy The Stage invites the 99% to join activists Jen Waller and Tom Hintze for brainstorming and training as part of “Less Wall, More Street: From Mass Arrests of OWS to Mass Incarceration” – a national campaign to raise awareness and build solidarity around issues of state targeting and social control. This training will address the scope of the growing problem of political repression directed at the 99 percent. Jen Waller and Tom Hintze’s brainstorming and training session is part of “Less Wall, More Street: From Mass Arrests of OWS to Mass Incarceration” – a national campaign to raise awareness and build solidarity around issues of state targeting and social control. These two OWS activists have been driving across the country doing legal solidarity trainings and working to raise awareness and build solidarity around issues of state targeting and social control. Please check out their website Less Wall More Street to learn more about how they are Building Solidarity to Fight Repression from Coast to Coast. “Less Wall, More Street” seeks to build alliances between new activists who are just recently experiencing repression, more experienced activists who have long been subject to it and members of targeted and oppressed communities – to share experiences, build understanding and work in solidarity together. After the arrest of more than 7,000 members of Occupy Movement engaging in peaceful acts of dissent, many of which are supposedly protected by the law of the land, state sanctioned repression remains a reality of life for the 99% in the United States. Jen and Tom will also point out things that 99 percenters can to more effectively resist repression here. That political repression is a real and serious problem for 99 percenters in New Orleans is clear enough. Under the general direction of the local Homeland Security leadership, New Orleans police have arrested scores of 99 percenters for engaging in peaceful dissent in recent years. Targets of these arrests include members of the local public housing movement, Krewe of Eris revelers, anti austerity protesters at UNO, supporters of the Avery Alexander Occupy Encampment, and an organizer of Occupy the Stage. The time is long overdue for 99 percenters to give the problem of political repression in the US that it deserves. Come to this free and timely discussion concerning a grim political reality in Barrack Obama’s America. This event is free and open to all. Note: This training will occur during the regularly scheduled GA. The G.A. will meet after the training. FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CALL MIKE AT 504-587-0080 or RSVP to this Facebook Event. What Is Chalkupy? #ChalkTheWorld #ChalkTheWorld #ChalkTheWorld #ChalkTheWorld #ChalkTheWorld #ChalkTheWorld #ChalkTheWorld #ChalkTheWorld #ChalkAllTheThings #ChalkAllTheThings #ChalkAllTheThings #ChalkAllTheThings #ChalkAllTheThings #ChalkAllTheThings I first heard the term "Chalkupy" on March 8 when three people were arrested for drawing the Occupy Wall Street encampment with chalk at Zuccotti Park. The first occupier ever arrested at Liberty Plaza/Zuccotti was arrested and detained for writing the word “love” in chalk. The following videos show the March 8 arrests. @Magpieluvsyou tweeted pictures of a chalkupy in Mid-City later that day. New York-Parents for Occupy Wall Street soon issued the #M17 Call to Action: The Children’s Chalkupation in response to what they called a "...suppression of first amendment free speech..." and "...a blatant waste of time..." for NYPD. OccupyNOLA chalkupied City Hall on March 17. |
