\"\"Stop the repression! Let\u2019s grow our Occupy movement!<\/strong>
\nOn October 25th, the Oakland police brutally raided the Oakland encampment, arresting more than a hundred people who were peacefully camping, and the day after they severely injured another protestor. This new episode of police brutality was the last\u00a0straw that ignited the people of Oakland who called for a strike and day of action Nov. 2nd in a mass assembly in solidarity with the Occupy Oakland assembly and their demands.
\nOccupy Oakland has taken a strong stance against co-optation by corporate parties the Democrats & Republicans. This\u00a0independence\u00a0<\/strong>is what allowed our movement to so effectively respond to the raid last\u00a0 Tuesday. We need to preserve and expand it!
\nWe need demands that express clearly our interests in order to unite and expand our movement.<\/strong>
\nSome have argued about the virtue of not having demands: claiming that demands will limit the scope of our movement and will allow it to be co-opted, and state that our sole \u201cpresence\u201d is our demand.
\nThe truth is that right now\u00a0the absence of demands is an obstacle for the growth of the movement<\/strong>,\u00a0 both in terms of numbers and consciousness.\u00a0 It gives an illusion of unity. The two initial demands on ending police brutality and against schools and\u00a0library closures are a first step,\u00a0 but we need to go beyond.
\nMany of the 99% are not joining us because they are persuaded daily by the media that \u201cprotestors don\u2019t know what they are protesting against\u201d, and also the majority of the people, who works, cannot be constantly \u201cpresent\u201d at the encampments to figure out what do we stand for.\"\"
\nTherefore we need demands that will\u00a0unite whole the 99% around its true interest<\/strong>, and\u00a0 that will\u00a0prevent the co-optation\u00a0 of the movement\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>by the ones in power, by\u00a0choosing demands that will\u00a0target the core interests of the 1%<\/strong>:
\n\u00b7 \u00a0End police brutality<\/strong>\u00a0in our communities!
\n\u00b7 \u00a0No to school and library closures!<\/strong>
\n\u00b7<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0R<\/strong>everse fee hikes<\/strong>, cuts and layoffs in public education!
\n\u00b7\u00a0Tax the Rich! Fully funded and free public education and health- \u00a0 \u00a0care for all!<\/strong>
\n\u00b7\u00a0Nationalization\u00a0<\/strong>under workers\u2019 control of the bailout\u00a0banks\u00a0<\/strong>and foreclosed homes they own!
\n\u00b7\u00a0Public works plan\u00a0<\/strong>to fight unemployment!
\n\u00b7\u00a0Prohibit\u00a0<\/strong>companies earning profits from making\u00a0layoffs<\/strong>!
\nLet\u2019s organize the General Strike through the Occupy Movement!<\/strong>
\nThe only way to win our demands is to empower the 99% to make political through a General Strike.
\nWe also need to learn the lessons from Wisconsin:\u00a0recalling the Gov. instead of organizing a real general strike was a deadly trap<\/strong>. We cannot compete with the lobbying and campaigning power of the 1%, we need to use the power of the people: the General Strike and mass mobilization.
\nThis is why we need to start organizing a\u00a0General Strike that will involve the 99%,\u00a0<\/strong>(working people, youth and the unemployed) and that will\u00a0unite the different struggles<\/strong>, by forming\u00a0base committees\u00a0<\/strong>in all schools and workplaces to discuss our current problems and demands, and bring them to the Occupy general assemblies.
\nWherever workers are unionized, they should organize inside their unions to push the union leadership to\u00a0publicly support the Occupy Movement\u00a0<\/strong>and organize\u00a0a real General Strike\u00a0<\/strong>with the rest of the sectors of society.
\nUC\/CSU\/CC students and workers have called for a\u00a0day of walkouts and actions Nov. 9th and Nov. 16th against the privatization of public education and to tax the rich.\"\"<\/strong>
\nFrom Occupy Oakland to Occupy Berkeley, to Occupy SF and Occupy San Jos\u00e9 we need to unite our struggles to build for ageneral mobilization\u00a0<\/strong>in California\u00a0to make the\u00a0<\/strong>1% pay for their crisis<\/strong>.
\nALL OUT Nov. 2nd & 9th and Beyond!<\/strong><\/p>\n
