On the third anniversary of Occupy Wall Street, September 17, 2014 (S17) we will be gathering in Zuccotti Park, New York City.

OWS S17 Planning Assembly welcomes you to attend a unique Occupy Movement celebration of independent and progressive media for its role displacing mainstream media in getting out our stories and related causes.

This day is also designed to make it possible for many significant organizations within and outside Occupy Working and Affinity Groups to meet and engage in conversations geared towards creating positive solutions for the social and economic justice issues facing us all.

It is likely that Zuccotti Park will be occupied all day long and that the core assembly for media and organizations would be present at least between 10 a.m to 3 p.m.

At noon there will also be special announcements by attendees about past and current successes and to call attention to important upcoming events.

Bring your banners, promotional materials, business cards, brochures, samples, t-shirts, signup sheets, whatever you’ve got. It's with appreciation and excitement that we look forward to conversing on September 17, 2014 in Zuccotti Park.

In solidarity — We are the 99%.

“Storytelling teaches not through instruction, but through imagination and example,” says the Sami artist Máret Ánne Sara. “These stories don’t provide direct answers, but rather the ethical tools to navigate and sustain the world.”

Republicans’ fate in the 2026 midterms is likely sealed. But they could be out of power for multiple subsequent election cycles if Democrats are smart.

In November, Indigenous protests in London included the launch of “Bringing It All Back Home,” confronting corporate power head-on.
