May 1st – General Strike/Day Without the 99%
May 1st is International Worker’s Day. This year, the Occupy Movement has put the call out for a “Global General Strike.” No Work. No School. No Shopping.
Occupy Santa Rosa is supporting this call and organizing for a day of nonviolent direct action to show the 1% that we mean business. We are also working with the May 1st Coalition, which includes labor, immigrants rights and faith-organizations, to organize a massive rally and march in the afternoon.
Here is our current schedule for the day. All demonstrations will begin at Courthouse Square.
5am: Rush-hour messaging: banner-drops, mini-protests.
9am: Breakfast and Morning activities
Noon: Lunch and Direct Actions
3pm: Converge to march to the May 1st Coalition Rally in Roseland, which will begin at 3:30pm.
On May 2nd, Occupy Santa Rosa will re-establish a consistent presence in Courthouse Square, so that the 99% will have a central location where they can plug in to the struggle and help us build out into other communities.
El Primero de Mayo es el Dia Internacional del Trabajador. En 2012, el Movimiento Occupy ha llamado por una “Huelga General y Global.” No Trabajo. Ni Escuela. Ni Compras.
