Join Occupy Wall Street on #A14 to kick off exciting spring and summer events. On April 14th, New York City will converge on Central Park to unite with organizations and activists to create a transformative, citywide, mass movement. The day will give individuals an opportunity to connect with organizations and foster ongoing collaboration of groups working on common issues.
1pm: Open space format for community-based organizations, issue-based organizations, unions, neighborhood GAs, working groups, etc, to table and conduct outreach. There will be food, music, teach-ins, and other cultural events taking place.
*If you would like to blanket, host a teach-in, or perform, please fill out the TEACH-IN/PERFORMANCE FORM at the bottom.
3pm: While the open space continues, at 3pm, a facilitated assembly will convene for those interested in serious citywide organizing and interactive movement building. It will open with several short, rallying speeches and followed by discussion and planning of strategic vision for the next 3-6 months. This will focus on campaigns, initiatives, and project from groups and organizations around the city.
Occupiers sow the seeds of a ‘Spring Awakening’
Far from just a day in the park, planners hope to plant the seeds of something new — a democratic mechanism through which disparate organizations can come together to strategize about how to combine their campaigns to attack the root causes of shared problems, including corruption and the unchecked political influence of the 1 percent.
