Occupy Philly Daily Happenings

12:00pm Bubbas and Zaydas for Peace in the Middle East - 19th & JFK
Arch Street United Methodist Church is starting their overnight mission in November. There is a microwave, and lots of clothes and other things in Room C downstairs. They need to empty that room to store cots, etc. for the mission. These items are left over from eviction night! If these are your belongings please go to Arch Street UMC to collect these items between 10 & 3, Monday through Friday or call 215-568-6250 to make other arrangements. They will begin disposing of things the first week of November and take things to Purple Heart or a thrift store.
Sunday October 28th 1:00pm - The Fraternal Order of Police is organizing a fund-raiser party in honor of Jonathan D. Josey, the cop who bashed Aida Guzman in the face at the recent Puerto Rican Day parade. There is a rally and speak-out in front of the FOP office during the duration of the party inside. We want to make it uncompromisingly clear that it is unacceptable that the FOP is celebrating this policeman's actions. Not that we expected anything different. The fact that this was a black cop does not change the fact that he was engaging in racist violence and acting in the interests of white supremacy. Mayor Nutter's apology is not justice. The firing of Josey is not justice. Any ordinary person caught doing this on tape would be receiving criminal charges. But because Josey is a cop, he is above the law. We can't rely on the police for justice. We can't rely on the politicians either. We can only rely on ourselves and our capacity for collective action.

Strike Debt Philly Planning Meeting Sunday, October 28, 2012 2:00pm Wooden Shoe Books and Records 704 South Street. Join us on Sunday to meet, greet, and brainstorm how to launch a Philly chapter of Strike Debt! Debt assemblies, debt burnings, and debt workshops are just a few of our ideas, but we need yours as well. Strike Debt is a new movement for the refusal of payment of debts to Wall St., whether student debt, credit card debt, medical debt, municipal debt, or whatever you got! Strike Debt (NYC) recently released the Debt
Resistors' Operations Manual, which provides strategies for how to avoid and resist debts, a s well as historical and political context for why it is that so many of us are trapped in this unfair system to begin with. The Manual is free for download! Hope to see you on Sunday to launch the next phase of the movement against Wall St. http://strikedebt.org/ Debt Resistors' Operations Manual: http://strikedebt.org/initiatives/the-debt-resistors-operations-manual/
