As we see the OCCUPYWALLSTREET movement turn into OCCUPYEVERYWHERE, solidarity is building, and the 1% have taken notice. Right on the heels of this action, a separate action is set to begin tomorrow Oct. 6 in D.C. . The OCTOBER2011 Coalition is set to occupy Freedom Plaza in Washington D.C. . The pledge for those involved (yes there is a pledge) goes as follows:
"I pledge that if any U.S. troops, contractors, or mercenaries remain in Afghanistan on Thursday, October 6, 2011, as that occupation goes into its 11th year, I will commit to being in Freedom Plaza in Washington, D.C., with others on that day or the days immediately following, for as long as I can, with the intention of making it our Tahrir Square, Cairo, our Madison, Wisconsin, where we will NONVIOLENTLY resist the corporate machine by occupying Freedom Plaza to demand that America's resources be invested in human needs and environmental protection instead of war and exploitation. We can do this together. We will be the beginning."
