I'm only one little piece so happy to be a part of this beautiful important movement that has taught me a lot in the short 6 months of our existence as a labeled entity.
Every little bit of support helps, even just sending heartfelt positive energy. Here are a few websites for info on #M1GS What is #M1GS?
Worldwide, May 1st is traditionally a ‘Workers’ day – a day of Labor Solidarity, and a public holiday. It’s a day to celebrate and march in support of im/migrant rights. In protest against the corruption of the worldwide marketplace, which has led to illegal foreclosures, mass unemployment, low wages, high taxes and a penalization of all those who do not own the ‘99%’ of the world’s resources, and in solidarity with the im/migrant movements of May 1st, we decided to declare May 1st, 2012 a People’s General Strike. Instead of calling upon unionized Labor to make a specific demand (illegal under Taft-Hartley), we are calling upon the people of the world to take this day away from school and the workplace, so that their absence makes their displeasure with this corrupt system be known. http://www.occupymay1st.org/ http://occupii.org/events/occupy-may-day-general-strike Some recent news http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/occupy-wall-street-urges-strike-arrests-15957348#.T2t1Ddn8mSo Calls for May Day general strikes by occupy general assemblies as of 9 March 2012: Boston, Massachusetts, 7 January 2012 Brooklyn, New York, 19 January 2012 Bushwick, New York, 1 March 2012 Detroit, Michigan, 21 February 2012 Long Beach, California, 17 January 2012 Los Angeles, California, 19 December 2011 Oakland, California, 29 January 2012 Pasadena, California, 8 January 2012 Phoenix, Arizona, 8 January 2012 Portland, Oregon, 10 February 2012 San Diego, California, (day?)
