Interdependence Day Is On Its Way

Readers:

The following email was recently sent to our supporters.  If you are interested in our Interdependence Day, please contact Cassie at ct7sisters@gmail.com for more information.

Greetings from the Seven Sisters!

To kick off a season of resistance to the oligarchy, the seven sisters are gathering together all those throughout the state of Connecticut and beyond who sympathize with the international Occupy movements, all those who experience hardship at the hands of the oligarchy.

We declare Saturday, June 16^th, 1-5pm @ Bushnell Park, “Interdependence Day,” a day for families, friends and citizens to gather together in recognition of their resistance to the oligarchy for a potluck in the park, featuring music, speakers, and information tables.  When the uber-rich are threatened, they show police force, so when the people are threatened, it’s time to show people force.  Let’s show the powers that be that we have numbers.  Let’s demonstrate to ourselves that we have power. 

For the past three months we have organized within Hartford, Bridgeport and Waterbury.  Now that we have a permit, it’s time to push our organizing into overdrive, and for that, we need YOU!

We are asking of you the following:

1.       Organize your community/neighborhood,

2.       Identify the immediate needs and concerns of your community,

3.       Locate speakers that can speak to those needs,

4.       Suggest bands for the event,

5.       Arrange carpools and/or buses, and

6.       Be at Bushnell Park on Saturday afternoon, June 16, 2012.

Please respond to this email in the affirmative if you are able to organize your community and attend. 

If you decide to participate, and in preparation for the big day, we will convene conference-call “town halls” for the day of May 16^th in every place where we are organized to see how each of us can contribute to making this event a success.  You will be receiving more information on the town halls in future emails.

Also, depending on your social media needs and preferences, feel free to:

• ·        Friend “Spring Forward” on Facebook athttp://www.facebook.com/people/Spring-Forward/100003568309330 to declare your attendance for the event.
• ·        Follow us on Twitter at https://twitter.com/WomenWill for in the moment updates and resources.
• ·       Visit our blog at http://www.ctsevensisters.blogspot.com/ where official up-to-date information can be found.
• ·         Email Cassie at ct7sisters@gmail.com with any specific questions or concerns.

Various groups and Occupies are planning direct actions throughout the state for the spring and summer.  By gathering together for one day, in numbers, we can fuel our momentum for the season.

@OccupyHartford's Platform and Demands meeting this Sunday 12/4/2011

The Platform and Demands meeting will be having our third meeting this Sunday from 2-5 PM at the Kabbalah House located at 1023 Albany Ave in Hartford’s historic North end . Plenty of on-street parking available. We warmly welcome your  participation and efforts toward this important project.

Currently, the working list is…

1. End U.S of wars of aggression and occupation and bring the war dollars home now.
2. Make the corporations and the rich pay their fair and just share of  taxes.
3. Quality housing, food, healthcare, education, childcare, and a basic income are lifelong human rights for all.
4. A broad employment program that recognizes everyone’s right to meaningful, socially, and environmentally beneficial work at a living  wage, while prioritizing the needs of socially and economically marginalized groups in the local community.
5. Adequately funded, compassionate empowering, culturally and situational appropriate rehabilitation and education outreach services for victims of human trafficking, homelessness, sexual exploitation, prostitution, drug addiction, domestic violence, child abuse, and other social ills.
