All out November 12 to show community support for the young people who are occupying a site in Poughkeepsie 24/7! When they began Oct 15, police made them leave the park at curfew. They set up their sleeping bags across the street on the sidewalk and slept there for two nights. On the third it was raining- they didn't want to break up camp once again and move to the street- so they decided to stay and the police have left them alone since (even some nights yelling out to stay warm)!

Their dedication, organization and good energy are impressive, but it can't be easy being in the cold, never knowing what the next day will bring. Can we show them that we have their backs? That we appreciate their passion and respect them and all making these courageous stands all over our country?

Please come Saturday Nov 12. The rally beginning at 12 will be great with speakers: members of Occupy Pok, Veteran's for Peace, Alliance for Quality Education, African Roots Library, New Paltz Women in Black and others. Performers will include:Tom Pacheco, Reggie Harris, the Redwing Blackbird Puppet Theater, "Billionaires for Boehner", the Women's Drum Circle and Bill Vanaver.

Following the rally, there will be a march through the city. Signs will be provided and there will be material there to make your own. After the march, people are invited to take part in the group's General Assembly to join in the discussion about how to change the system so that it works for the 99% of us. 

The event is open to the public. let's have a large turnout to show support for the Pok occupiers and for the Occupy Movement spreading across this nation and around the world!

Please visit them on their FB page and website and see what they need to keep going!

The 99% Visit Gov Walker from occupywallst.org. This is great!

Occupy the Future "I've never seen anything quite like the Occupy movement in scale and character, here and worldwide. The Occupy outposts are trying to create cooperative communities that just might be the basis for the kinds of lasting organizations necessary to overcome the barriers ahead and the backlash that's already coming." Noam Chomsky
