A win for either major party on November 6th will mean
more economic austerity and continued
war.
Whether or not the "fiscal cliff" of across-the-board
budget cuts is avoided before the end of the year, both Obama and Romney are
committed to cutting budget deficits. And
since both are committed to continued funding of America's wars, those cuts
will be aimed at the 99%.
China's economic growth is cooling, and Europe's Euro Zone
lurches from crisis to crisis. Even if the U.S. somehow manages to accelerate
its anemic growth, it faces declining opportunities to export to most of its
major trading partners.
But we don't have to be just victims of their economic
crisis. A hard push from the
99% forced some Depression-era governments to change their budget
priorities.
Whoever wins on Nov. 6th, we will face an urgent need
for struggle against the most severe economic attacks of our lifetimes.
To help kick this off, we invite you to participate in a
planning meeting to organize COUNTER-Inaugural Day action(s) on the day the
next administration is sworn in.
The planning meeting will be at
4 PM to 6 PM, Saturday, November 10
at Multi-Kulti, 1000 N. Milwaukee Avenue, 4th floor, Chicago (wheelchair
accessible).
Please help spread the word
by joining the
Facebook
event and inviting others.
The Direct Action Committee of Occupy Chicago
