Sat. Dec. 10, 11AM Stand For Freedom: Protect Our Right To Vote
March on the United Nations on Human Rights Day
This year, two-thirds of state legislatures have introduced laws that undermine the right to vote. Early voting and Sunday voting are under attack, photo ID requirements will introduce the first financial and document barrier to voting since the poll tax, and racially-motivated bans on ex-felons will wipe tens of thousands off the rolls.
This effort is unprecedented, it is coordinated, and it is targeted. African Americans, Latinos, Asian Americans, Native Americans, students, working women, seniors and immigrants of all colors will be disproportionately affected.
The right to vote is the heart of our democracy. Throughout our history Americans have been murdered for defending this basic human right. We will not let it be taken away from millions today.
When: December 10th, 11:00 AM
Where: Start at the office of the Koch Brothers (Madison Ave. and E. 61st St.) and march to Dag Hammarskjold Plaza (near 47th St. and Second Ave.)
For the latest information about the December 10 march and rally, visit www.stand4freedom.org. This event was organized by the NAACP and there are many other organizations endorsing.

We need a hardcore Green Cleanup Team TONIGHT
at Occupy Wall Street.
Mayor Bloomberg wants Occupiers to “temporarily” leave Zuccotti Park on Friday so NYC Sanitation can clean the park, but City Hall and the NYPD have proved they cannot be trusted to respect protestors’ rights or safety. So tonight (Thursday 10/13) the Occupation is staging a Community Cleanup to eliminate this pretext for evicting a peaceful demonstration.
Reach out to friends/family/anyone to donate or purchase:
- brooms, dust pans and mops
- squeegees and buckets
- garbage bags
- power washers and any other cleaning supplies
Donations go to the Sanitation Station at Zuccotti Park.
Join us TONIGHT, after the General Assembly (which tend to end between 9pm and 10pm), so the Greens can join the full-camp cleanup session. Be seen being Green, and HELP US CLEAN!
Zuccotti Park is at the corner of Liberty Street and Broadway, take the 4/5 to Wall Street or the N/R to Rector Street. Call Michael at 917-825-3562 or email michael@gpbk.org with questions.
Sign-ups for future Occupy Wall Street tabling and donations can be found at http://www.greenpartynyc.org
Call 311 and Tell The Mayor’s Office To Keep Their Hands Off The Occupation!
Stand With Zuccotti Park at 6am Friday Morning To Stand For Peaceable Assembly!
