News From Occupy Philly


OCCUPY PHILLY, www.occupyphilly.org, continues at Phila. City Hall, 15th & Market Streets, despite the challenges and with your support.
Tomorrow (Thursday, 10/13), the one week anniversary of the start of Occupy Philly, you are invited to march from City Hall to the nearby Wells Fargo Bank for a 4p.m. Rally with Fight for Philly neighborhood activists demonstrating the impact of predatory lending and foreclosure practices: blighted communities.

From the Wells Fargo Bank rally, people will walk a short distance of the high-rise office building housing the Philadelphia office of Senator Patrick Toomey (R, PA U.S. Senator) long a champion of all things Wall Street. Toomey is part of the twelve member budget deficit reduction "super-committee" that will make life and death budget proposals next month to the Congress. Toomey is known to oppose taxing the rich and opposes cuts in military spending. Let Toomey know: People before Corporate Profits: Stop Cuts in Domestic Spending, End the Wars, Cut the Military Budget".

We Are The 99% Demanding Economic Justice, Democracy, and Peace - Tuesdays, 4:30p.m., Phila. City Hall, Occupy Philly!


Beginning next Tuesday, October 18, 4:30p.m. - 6p.m., join the Brandywine Peace Community and other peace and anti-war activists at Occupy Philly.

The U.S. permanent war economy and military-industrial-intelligence complex has dominated every aspect of U.S. life, has spread war and violence around the world, sacrificed poor and working people especially, the environment and our democracy, on the corporate altar of empire and militarism. Blow the whistle on Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and L3., to name just a few of the largest war profiteers in the greater Philadelphia area.

Stand up and vigil against corporate militarism and war! Join the STAND-UP vigil with banners and signs at Occupy Philly (Phila.City Hall, west side, 15th & Market Sts.) Tuesdays, 4:30p.m. - 6p.m. Large Banners will be there, bring your own signs if you wish, and an umbrella in case of rain.
