99 Tents for the 99%: Rally at the Plaza at 5:30 then mass action
Wednesday, Nov. 30th, Rally @ 5:30 pm @ the People’s Plaza, Hennepin County Government Center, Minneapolis
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 returned, but no arrests.
INDIVIDUALS: Bring yourself, some friends, and your tent! ORGANIZATIONS: Bring a tent with signs and images to represent your issues and 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! Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/
