Know Your Rights Training for the 99 Tents for the 99% Action
6:00 p.m. at The People’s Plaza
Join us for a Know Your Rights training and sign making on Tuesday, Nov. 29th at 6:00 pm at The People's Plaza. Join us to prepare for Wednesday's mass shelter action!
In preparation for Wednesday evening's action to set up tents and shelter for the Occupation, we will have a training about the different roles for folks to play. While the majority will be holding a presence and setting up tents, if the police move in to remove tents, some folks are prepared to do non-violent civil disobedience. If you want to be a part of the circle that will refuse to move, please come to this training. We will need everyone else to be supporters and also help to defend our shelters, but do not need to risk arrest. Please feel welcome to come and get more information, to know your rights for doing civil disobedience or to see what other roles you can play in the action. We will also be making signs for the rally and for our shelters so that we have a strong message as part of our tent action! Please join us for sign making as well!

99 Tents for the 99%
Rally at the Plaza at 5:30 then mass action
Join us at The People's Plaza for a mass action to prepare for winter.
Mass shelter action -- 99 tents for the 99%
Defend the occupy movement as winter sets in.
Shelter is a human right.
With the ACLU having filed a lawsuit in Federal court to protect the rights of Occupy Minneapolis, it's time to enforce our rights to peacefully assemble on government property. Come with tents or come to occupy a tent or come to celebrate our freedom and keep a watchful eye on how our government reacts. The more people and tents the better. We can always have multiple groups of 99 tents each and multiple clusters of 99 people standing around them. Note: The last tent action resulted in tents being removed and not yet returned, but no arrests.
INDIVIDUALS: Bring yourself, some friends, and your tent!
ORGANIZATIONS: Bring a tent with signs and images to represent your organization!
EVERYONE: Bring sleeping bags and lots of warm clothes!
We are working on getting community organizations, labor & labor leaders and others to bring tents and to challenge the no tent policy.
Calling on organizations to bring multiple tents with their organization names and slogans to show that WE ARE ALL the Movement! And we are there to DEFEND OUR Movement! Let us all put slogans on our tents so it is not just a tent city, but a massive tent city with a message!

Foreclose on US Bank
Meet at People’s Plaza at 12:00 pm to respond to the violent eviction of Sara's home and send a message to the banks that we won't allow them to foreclose on our communities. US Bank is responsible for the foreclosures of Sara Kaiser and Monique White and have been completely unwilling to negotiate with them to find a reasonable solution to keep them in their homes.
If they won't stop foreclosing on our communities they can expect us to start foreclosing on their banks. More info to come.

Occupy Homes National Day of Action
Join us for an action in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street's call for a national day of action against foreclosures! We have been a the forefront nationally of the Occupy Homes movement and now is our time to set a strong example for the rest of the occupy movement.
Meet at the plaza at 12 pm. More info to come.

December 6 will be a big day of action for the Occupy Wall Street movement. #OWS will join the struggle of families and communities that have been on the front lines of a struggle for economic justice. We will stand in solidarity and ask our fellow occupations to join us for a national day of action on the foreclosure crisis. We are fighting Wall Street's reach on every block, every farm, every house in America with sit-ins at foreclosed properties to right this moral injustice.
The Occupy movement is born of the simple belief that humanity could meet our common needs if not for the predation and greed of the very few. Nowhere is this disparity of wealth and power more evident than in the struggle to secure the human right to housing.
In a nation that puts the right to housing at the center of its founding dream, millions of people have lost their homes or fear that they soon will because of the foreclosure crisis. Wall Street created this crisis with lies and greed. And Washington, instead of investigating Wall Street and banks, is cutting back room deals to let bankers escape justice for their crimes.
Wall Street turned a fundamental human need into a badly rigged casino game with fraudulent lending practices and corrupt securitization. They destroyed our economy, kicked tens of thousands of people illegally out of their homes, and are now using a small fraction of the money they stole to buy off politicians and settle for far less than they owe.
