Why We Need Free Media

Free and independent journalism is under attack. From violent police suppression to corporate media censorship, the need to create and defend movement-based journalism has never been greater - especially as we prepare for May Day and beyond

Occupy Transit! Revitalize our transit system

Callng mass transit a genuine civil rights issue, the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU), which represents transit workers across the nation, joined with the Occupy Movement, community organizations and transit riders to demand a revitalization of our transit systems. Citing such problems as "older vehicles, deferred maintenance and longer wait times for overcrowded buses and trains," the ATU was also critical of service cuts and higher fares which have hit working class riders the hardest.

Occupy Wall Street May Actually Be Changing Wall Street Firms

"Banks and financial services firms have now shifted their focus from liquidity and financial performance to customer satisfaction and their own employees," said Scott Tangney, an executive at Makovsky. "The Occupy Wall Street Movement has indicated to firms where they need to be focusing."

A New Focus And Direction For The Occupy Wall Street Movement

The Occupy Wall Street movement (OWS) has been evolving over the last few months and I have been observing them with great interest. They began as a seemingly ragtag group of demonstrators but have grown into a very influential movement. OWS has demonstrably raised awareness regarding the growing wealth disparities and corporate malfeasance within the United States and the world. Their commitment to this cause in the face of inclement winter weather, a paucity of amenities, and the growing police crackdowns around the country has been nothing short of inspirational. I myself have wished that I could support them in person on Wall Street. After all, I worked there for 27 years before falling victim to the financial chicanery which took place in those institutions.

Occupy the SEC: Former Wall Street Workers Defend Volcker Rule Against Banks’ Anti-Regulatory Push

The latest off-shoot of the Occupy Wall Street movement - Occupy the SEC - has submitted a 325-page comment to the Securities and Exchange Commission that calls on regulators to resist the financial industry's lobbying efforts to water down the Volcker Rule, a section in the Dodd--Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, that aims to prevent large banks from making certain kinds of risky, speculative investments.

Will Occupy Movement Be a Force in Electoral Politics?

Bernard Hyland, a software analyst and progressive activist from the Los Angeles area, attends Occupy LA on November 19, 2011 - eleven days before police forcibly expel protestors from their encampment on the City Hall lawn, arresting 290 people in the process. Hyland shares his thoughts on how the Occupy movement could leverage its power with elected officials to reform the existing system, even as it seeks to make deeper, more revolutionary changes to the economic and political order.

Central Bank Issue

Some say that we don t have a single unifying message but this is only because they don't fully understand what is going on. In fact, we are all trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together and we are even more hopeful because now more of us are uniting and sharing what we know. We are awakening to the shocking realization that central banks owned by private individuals and large corporations actually control the money supply. As unbelievable as it is, many of our governments do not directly control their own money supplies, including the U.S. Federal Reserve, and are therefore not fully in control of the country. Instead, a group of privately-owned central banks and their anonymous owners control it all. Although research shows that many central banks insist on the importance of being independent of government control, it should be noted that throughout the history of central banks, the issue of who directly controls the currency has been hotly debated, especially in the United States. We are ready for change and this requires transparency, and by more than a group of people whose institutions are driven by the financial gain of its relatively small group of owners. The system created in a previous century that is controlled by the few is clearly not working for the many.

Occupy Harvard Moves to Next Phase of Action

On December 19, Occupy Harvard will launch the next phase of its occupation, with a focus on moving beyond physical occupation to occupying the hearts and minds of those beyond the university s walls. "Occupy Harvard 2.0 will focus on education, activism, and strengthening the connections between Harvard's Occupy outpost and the world outside our university's gates," said Maggie Gram, a doctoral student in English. It is our hope that with this action, Harvard administration will respond by returning access to the Yard to the larger community it belongs to.

Occupy Des Moines demands cut in military spending

A handful of activists went to Obama's nondescript office in a downtown strip mall after larger rallies to mark the three-month anniversary of the Occupy Wall Street movement in New York. They had hoped to read a statement demanding Obama cut military spending by half and "dismantle our U.S. military empire ... so we can create jobs, balance the budget, meet our peoples' needs here and help the human community to heal our dying planet."

Why we occupy, reason #324

The monopoly of power by means of violent force must be eliminated immediately and nonviolently - on all fronts. We will not fail. We cannot fail. We must not fail. We demand freedom immediately and the only one who can answer that demand is of course yourself, not an imagined X percent who will ignore your signs, your chanting, your tents and your signed petitions. You were brainwashed into giving your freedom away. You didn't know better. I didn't know better. But now that we have looked behind the curtain we simply no longer have any more excuses. You can decide right now to wake up and take your power back. What the so-called 1 Percent is doing has nothing to do with me. Together we will Occupy.

Where Does Occupy Wall Street Go From Here

This past weekend I participated in a four-hour meeting of Occupy Wall Street activists whose job it is to come up with the vision and goals of the movement. It was attended by 40+ people and the discussion was both inspiring and invigorating. Here is what we ended up proposing as the movement's "vision statement" to the General Assembly of Occupy Wall Street:

What the 99 percent can give American soldiers

I would like to submit a request for a different kind of care package, if you don t mind. I would like it, very much, if the American people would do more than camp out in a park, burning effigies of bankers. I would appreciate it if you would please vote in the next election, whether it be presidential, congressional, state, or municipal. I would like you to actually sit down and Google the candidates, and pick the ones that advocate what you advocate. I would like you to sit down with your kids at night and teach them not only how to read the Constitution, but how to understand it.

The 99%’s Deficit Proposal: How to create jobs, reduce the wealth divide and control spending

The disconnect between Congress and the people is vast. For decades, Congress has been passing laws that benefit the 1%, their campaign donors and big business interests, rather than creating a fair economy that serves all U.S. citizens. With this report Occupy Washington, DC shows that Congress is out of touch with evidence-based solutions, supported by the majority of Americans that can revive the economy, reduce the deficit and wealth divide while create millions of jobs.

As thousands are in the streets demanding Wall Street accountability, high-ranking officials in the Obama administration are actively pushing state Attorneys General to cut a terrible deal in the next few weeks with mortgage firms that lets these giant institutions off the hook for what appears to be widespread mortgage and foreclosure fraud. President Obama needs to step in and put a stop to this.

POLL: 99 Percent Message Nearly Twice As Popular As Tea Party GOP Message

The current economic structure of the country is out of balance and favors a very small proportion of the rich over the rest of the country. America needs to reduce the power of major banks and corporations and demand greater accountability and transparency. The government should not provide financial aid to corporations and should not provide tax breaks to the rich.

To reiterate: Do not get baited into Left Right debates. It is a distraction.

Get rid of all Left/Right arguments for now. Even if you believe deeply in them. The people united can never be defeated. Do not engage in left/right based discussion. It is a distraction. Focus on getting money out of politics and returning equal voice to the people. That means equal voice for all those that have become disenfranchised. The tea party, OWS, and Everyone who doesn't have a lobbyist. This is largely the goal required by the people of both sides of the spectrum. The only one who is standing in our collective way are the 1% who want to see us fighting each other so they can get back to doing whatever they want.

Most of us actually think the deck is stacked these days against entrepreneurs and that it was done so by bipartisan coalitions. Most of us do think the deck is stacked against the little guy. It is not, however, that the top 1% stacked the deck against the rest of us. It is that the government, in its expansion of the nanny-state, drove up costs to everyone and only the rich had the capital to overcome it.

Will Occupy Wall Street Succeed?

OWS is not the Brookings Institution. But its implicit grievances are plain enough: the mass pain of mass unemployment, underemployment, and economic insecurity; the corrupting, pervasive political influence of big money; the outrageous, rapidly growing inequality of wealth and income; the impunity of the financial-industry scammers whose greed and fraud precipitated the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression; a broken political system hobbled by a Republican right willing and usually able to block any measures, however timid and partial, that might relieve the suffering.

Occupy Wall Street: The Most Important Thing in the World Now

We all know, or at least sense, that the world is upside down: we act as if there is no end to what is actually finite - fossil fuels and the atmospheric space to absorb their emissions. And we act as if there are strict and immovable limits to what is actually bountiful - the financial resources to build the kind of society we need. The task of our time is to turn this around: to challenge this false scarcity. To insist that we can afford to build a decent, inclusive society - while at the same time, respect the real limits to what the earth can take.

How the Occupy Wall Street Protesters Can Defeat the Corporate Elite

We wouldn't be on Wall Street if we didn't already have an implicitly unifying message: We hold the banks, the millionaires, and the political elite they control, responsible for the exploitation and oppression we face -- from capitalism, racism and authoritarianism to imperialism, patriarchy and environmental degradation. We have a diversity of grievances, complaints, demands, principles, and visions, but it is clear that we have planted ourselves in the financial capital of the world because we see it as one of the most deeply entrenched roots of the various systems of oppression we face every day. The clue is in the title: Occupy Wall Street.

Here’s a demand: forgive student loan debt

As the Occupy Wall Street protest enters its third straight week in New York and continues spreading all across the country, what is abundantly clear is that "the other 99%" - as opposed to the super-wealthy 1% who've been coddled for decades under the failed economic premise that cutting their taxes and providing them with countless tax shelters, loopholes and other breaks will "trickle down" to the masses - are simply fed up with the status quo. So they are doing the one thing within their power to make their voices heard.
