Occupy Vancouver
Global Revolution Day
12:00pm
Saturday October 15 2011
Greetings Citizens of Vancouver,
As we watch the peaceful protest in New York City, "Occupy Wall Street", explode with massive amounts of people, and groups forming similar "Occupy" protests around the world, we must realize that it is time for us to stand up with them.
On October 15th we will stand peacefully with others from around the world to demand a true democracy.
It is time to come together and educate each other. We will stand in solidarity with these other movements and we will create a platform for people to speak and provide an audience that will listen.
Let them gawk, let them ask questions, let them wake up.
We realize that our social, economic, and political structures are broken.
This is more than just a protest "against" something. It is about coming together as people, acknowledging things are broken, and working together to fix them.
The time is now. (October 15) :)
The place is the Art Gallery (a good "home" next to the financial district).

This general occupation of public space is an ongoing event. Bring Tent.
All organizations should come prepared with booths/speakers/performers/etc.
We will be out there for as long as it takes and we all need to work together to make this work.
See you all there. :)

Occupy Vancouver
So a bunch if aging hippie asswads - or hippie wannabe's think its cool to live in tents for a few weeks, eat out of garbage cans and shit in the bushes around VAG - all he while decrying the crumbling fabric of society and complaining that "life just isn't fair!"
Life would be a whole lot more fair if these dipshits all got a job and didn't live off the largesse of the society they condemn - but no, that wouldn't give them time to waste being total assholes!
That about sums up Occupy Vancouver for me.
