Occupy May Day on Kos is dedicated to a mass demonstration in the financial district of New York City, also known as Wall Street, on May 1st, 2012.
In the first week in review I'll present some of the other ideas in the 99% Movement of what to do on May 1st.
* Occupy LA calls for a general strike on May 1st:
The Occupy movement, which started in mid-September last year as Occupy Wall Street, a protest in a Manhattan park against the excesses of big banks, has morphed into something quite extraordinary across the United States. It seeks to connect and speak for the victims of America's four-year recession, the ''99 per cent'', who have seen job security, savings and income evaporate in hard times.
While its LA members talk of a national general strike in May, other protesters propose taking their argument to Washington, with a million-strong encampment in front of the nation's Capitol on January 17, a gathering they are calling Occupy Congress.
This also includes a webpage.
* There is a similar call on Facebook for a general strike with over 5000 committing to it. As well as other pages. And more.
* Occupy Oakland also calls for general strike on May Day.
* Occupy Minneapolis also has an Occupy May 1st Committee.
* Occupy Miami has created a working group for May 1st.
* Well, it was Google scheduled at least!
"Occupy Everywhere" is a nice slogan but also rather a mixed message. For those who consider the 99% Movement about a predatory 1% undermining democracy, peace and prosperity Occupying your town, while interesting, is not particularly compelling or relevant. Instead...
Occupy Wall Street.
