Get Ready: May Day Occupy General Strike In New York City

Get Ready: May Day Occupy General Strike In New York City

http://maydaynyc.org/

On May 1, 2012
Millions of people throughout the world — workers, students,
immigrants, professionals, houseworkers — employed and unemployed
alike — will take to the streets to unite in a General Strike against
a system that does not work for us.

Don't go to work. Don't go to school. Don't shop. Take the streets!



May Day Schedule
Note: this schedule is tentative. All times and locations are subject
to (radical) change.

8 a.m. to 2 p.m. — Bryant Park
Bryant Park will be the site of a fun and friendly "Pop-up
Occupation", featuring free food, a free market, free services,
skillshares, workshops, teach-ins, speak outs, public art,
performances, discussions, and trainings.
This will be a staging area for direct action and civil disobedience
in Midtown throughout the day: creative disruptions, bank blockades,
outreach to commuters and tourists, and more!
Amongst many autonomous actions, this will also be the launching
ground for our 99 Pickets! We will be setting up 99 Picket Lines to
expose, disrupt, and shut down the corporations who rule our city --
it will be an effective way for people to plug into the morning
activities on May Day. Drop a line to the organizers to get plugged
in: 99PicketLines@gmail.com
At noon there will be a guitar workshop and rehearsal for the Occupy
Guitarmy with Tom Morello.
