Green Party Of Brooklyn

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.

1. Organizing Group Donations Of Clothes

Autumn is in full swing and NYC is getting cooler and wetter. Donate warm clothes and other essential items to keep the occupation strong!

• sweatshirts
• sweatpants
• towels
• blankets
• sleeping bags
• socks
• instant heat packs
• feminine hygiene products
• watertight bins for storage and transport (large and small)

Greens are coordinating group donations on a weekly basis. To contribute, please fill out our donation form and email dani@gpbk.org if you have questions. Let the occupiers know that Greens care!

2. Donate Kitchen Space, Your Shower, or Extra Bed For a Night

The #OccupyWallSt kitchen crew has a fair amount of food to work with, but they need places to cook and prepare healthy meals for the occupiers. Tell us when you can host a cooking team in your kitchen, and help the occupation without having to leave home! You can also host occupiers who have been in the park for days or weeks, and just need access to a shower and a warm bed for the night.

As a resident New Yorker, you can provide an invaluable service to the courageous out-of-towners who traveled here to fight corporate rule. Fill out the hosting arrangement form and email eaganann35@gmail.com with questions.

3. March With The Greens This Wednesday In Downtown Manhattan

A coalition will march to Wall Street in solidarity with the Occupation this Wednesday (10/05/2011) at 4:30pm. Meet the Green Bloc in front of J&R World, 1 Park Row at Ann Street at 4:30pm and we’ll link up with the march! Email michael@gpbk.org or call 917-825-3562 with any questions.

Other ways to help: Greens have been fighting the corporate domination of government for a long time, so now it’s even more important to be seen being Green! Help table in front of Zuccotti Park, register new voters, or even just help hold up a Green banner. Email michael@gpbk.org to get on the schedule. You can also attend Occupation General Assembly and Working Group meetings to help keep the Green Movement plugged in.
