Latest news from Occupy movement

Events are moving fast - so I will try to add to this as information comes to hand


7 Occupy S.F. protesters arrested outside Bank of America

A small group of Occupy San Francisco protesters were moved from outside the Bank of America early Wednesday while Occupy Cal protesters set up tents on Sproul Plaza at UC Berkeley.
Police arrested seven people outside the bank in downtown San Francisco.

Protesters at the main San Francisco encampment at Justin Herman Plaza remained in place and were planning to meet Wednesday morning with Mayor Ed Lee, the Oakland Tribune reported.

Berkeley protesters, meanwhile, set up encampments on the school’s main plaza. They had been evicted from the site last week by campus police, who tore down their tents on orders from UC Berkeley President Robert Birgeneau, the Oakland Tribune reported.

New York: Thursday November 17th  Day of Action
Shut Down Wall Street! 

Occupy the Subways! Take the Square!
Sixty days into the struggle #OccupyWallStreet was violently evicted by the NYPD, who leveled our homes at Liberty Square to the ground. 


Our movement, however, is stronger than it has ever been. 


In these sixty days we have brought about a massive awakening, perhaps the largest one in the country since the Civil Rights Movement fifty years ago, and certainly the first global one in modern history.


People around the world, from Spain to Australia, from Chile to the U.S. have opened their eyes together to the decadence and injustice of the common system that exploits us. 


This is what we mean when we say with the deepest significance: you cannot stop an idea whose time has come
