People power takes over Wall Street

NEW YORK - Wall Street was taken over by people's power on Thursday. And that message came through loud and clear.

An outpouring of 10,000 New Yorkers swept into lower Manhattan to demand that Wall Street and the big billionaires pay their fair share. Dozens of labor unions, community organizations, peace groups and many individuals were united in putting the blame for the economic crisis on those who created it, and in opposing New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's punitive budget. They were outraged by Bloomberg's proposals to close two dozen firehouses, slash vital services such as community centers and homeless services, and lay off over 4,000 teachers.

The United Federation of Teachers NYC pulled out all the stops, with teachers flowing down the "streets of gold," joining thousands of other New Yorkers holding signs reading "Make Banks Pay" "Education is a Right" and "No Cuts."

Michael Mulgrew, president of the UFT, said, "Rather than lay off teachers and slash vital services for kids and seniors, Mayor Bloomberg needs to take another look at those who have been letting the working poor and the middle class make all the sacrifices."

nexus of the international capitalist conspiracy. MAKE THEM UNCOMFORTABLE! Then make them afraid.

Somebody up there needs to organize rotating, DAILY demonstrations in the belly of the beast. CONSTANTLY harass them everywhere they go.

Having found out about it here, I asked my retired husband if he'd heard anything about it on the TV he has on all day. Nope.

Oh, and - I did a search for "Wall Street protest" and got a whole 24 news articles.

We really need to call them out on this and fight

the "corporate censorship".:mad:

It was in the NYT and WaPo, but everything past that was HuffPo, Nation, etc. It was covered on TV in NYC (how could they avoid it?) but, it appears, nowhere else. I'd call 10K people in the street a national story....

:shrug:

But this is the first I heard about it. It will occupying Wall St. before anyone pays attention, like Wisconsin eg.
